A friend is one who joyfully sings with you when you are on the mountain top and silently walks beside you through the valley. by William A. Word
I am as one mocked of his neighbor,
who calleth upon God, and he answereth
him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
Job 12:4 KJV
Job stands up for himself. Explains his goodness, his steadfast fear of God and doesn't blame. His persecution is not from doing evil. Job continues to explain what he's about and who he is to his friends who have apparently forgotten. He has not had a lustful eye nor committed adultery, has not been vain nor deceitful, has not rejoiced at other's misfortunes nor wished bad on anyone; has helped the poor; has kept God in his heart because he feared the loss of God. Has considered his fellow man as a brother as they both came from the same place...the womb of their mother so one is no better than the other. Circumstances would only be the differentiating of their lives. He freely gave of what he had been given. Again, he explains that his persecution is not from doing evil.
In the beginning of the book of Job, it is explained that God believes in his servant Job and allows the Devil to tempt him and coerce him from his righteousness, but he is not allowed to kill or harm Job.
The Spirit of God hath made me,
and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
Job 33:4 KJV
