No purpose thwarted ...

As I said, Job does not receive a direct answer from the LORD about the reasons for his suffering. In life so many times there is nor reasoning for such. All Job discovers is to not blame the LORD for tragedy and evil. And at that he says to the LORD,

‘I know that you can do all things,
and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
“Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?”
Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,
things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
“Hear, and I will speak;
I will question you, and you declare to me.”
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye sees you;
therefore I despise myself,
and repent in dust and ashes.
(Job 42:2-6).

Even in suffering no purpose of God can be thwarted.
