About This Quote
In the book of Job, we see a lot of evil going around. We have seen the death of innocent people, we have seen a good man suffer so much that he loses his reason and his health, and we have seen a community plagued with a plague. The book of Job has a lot to say about sin and evil. In this quote from the book of Job, the writer says that God does not abolish evil, but rather he "does" about it. In other words, God is not the author of evil, but rather he uses it as a means to an end.
