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?
Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of the hands? Job is unwilling to think God can have "pleasure" in using his power to "oppress" the week, and to "treat" man, "the work of His own hands (so curiously and elaborately formed, as though his, creation were a work of labour), as of no value" (Job 10:8); "Forsake not the works of thine own hands" (Psalms 138:8).
And shine upon the counsel of the wicked? - favour with prosperity (Psalms 50:2).
