“Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?”
Job questions whether it is good to God to oppress him and reject the work of his hands, suggesting that such action contradicts divine benevolence. The rhetorical question invokes divine character: cruelty toward one's own creation seems incompatible with goodness. Job challenges God to acknowledge the apparent contradiction.
