“And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?”
Job continues: that you test him every morning and try him every moment? The assertion that God tests Job constantly transforms divine superintendence into perpetual examination and trial. The morning renewal of the testing suggests that there is no respite, that Job awakens each day to fresh torment. The intensity of the divine scrutiny becomes itself a form of torture.
