Job 27:2-6
2 "As God lives, who has taken away my justice,
And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
3 As long as my breath is in me,
And the breath of God in my nostrils,
4 My lips will not speak wickedness,
Nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 Far be it from me
That I should say you are right;
Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go;
My heart shall not reproach me as long as I live.
Job did not sin in Job chapters 1-2. But in Job 3-37 he accuses God of injustice. From his perspective, God was being unfair. From God's perspective, Job was, in Job's words concerning God, "unique" (Job 23:13; NKJV).
There was more going on than Job knew. There is more going on than we know. Trust and obey.
