Where?

Another friend, or I would like to think acquaintance, of Job seeks to reason out Job's suffering as if there are any legitimate reasons for suffering. The friend/acquaintance was 'Bildad the Shuhite'. To the suffering Job he says,

'Surely such are the dwellings of the ungodly,
such is the place of those who do not know God.’

(Job 18:21)

Implication of course is that Job must be an ungodly man. Such is an easy explanation for suffering like lung cancer coming to a smoker. But what of the cancers, etc, that come because of no logical explanation? Or what of the sinless suffering Job?

John asks, "Job, where are we going in all this mess?"
