DEUT1668 The problem of theodicy receives its fullest biblical treatment in the Book of Job. Here, as elsewhere in the Bible, the form in which the problem is presented is not such as to seek an explanation for suffering or evil in general, but rather to focus on the suffering of the righteous. Judaism never strayed away from the belief in the moral quality and purposive nature of God's will. However, men are compelled to question the justice of God, and indeed the entire world order, once we contemplate the fate of a Job. The challenge of Job's experience consists precisely in this. The tzaddik in Job believes in God. The thinker in Job accepts God's existence but demands that we separate God from ideas of morality and justice. For it appears clear that God's rule is not moral. The Book of Job rejects the separation. Once God appears to Job and causes him to experience the "grace of revelation," God's concern for the world is clear. Job is now able to accept the principle that God's ways are hidden from men. Out of an "immediate certitude of divine majesty," Job regains his faith in the meaningfulness of God's acts. The Bible's last word on the problem of theodicy is that, all experience to the contrary, the concept of God necessarily includes the moral idea. (Y. Kaufmann, The Religion of Israel, (trans. M.

"For all His ways are justice… just and right is He" [this verse].
