God"s irresistible power and inscrutable behavior made Job afraid ( Job 23:13-17). Nevertheless he determined to confront God with His apparent injustice. [source][source][source]
Job could not understand why God did not always judge overt sin quickly ( Job 24:1-12). Most people still have the same question. He mentioned three sins specifically: removing boundary landmarks and thereby appropriating someone else"s land, stealing flocks of sheep, and mistreating the weak. Job could not see why God seemingly ignored the perpetrators of these terrible sins, yet afflicted him so severely. Neither could he see why God did not judge sinners who practiced secret atrocities, specifically: murderers, adulterers, and burglars ( Job 24:14-17). [source][source][source]
