“Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.”
Job asserts that this would be his solace and that he would exult even in unrelenting pain, declaring that he has not denied the words of the Holy One. The paradox is striking: Job asserts that even if God crushes him, he would find comfort in knowing that he had not renounced his faith or lied about God. The assertion reveals that Job's fundamental integrity remains even as he wishes for death.
