Job 36:15

God helps good people who suffer. He was teaching Job, even while Job was suffering. Job was learning about heaven (Job 19:25-27) and hell (Job 26:5-6). Job was learning about wisdom (chapter 28). Job was learning to trust God (Job 12:4). And Job was even learning about Jesus (Job 16:19-21).

God cares about Job

v16 God will take you, Job, from this place, where you suffer. And God will lead you to a good place. There, you will enjoy the best food.

v17 But now, you suffer the punishment that wicked people deserve. And you cannot escape from your troubles.

v18 Do not allow money to tempt you! Do not allow a secret gift to tempt you! v19 Even your great wealth could not prevent your troubles. All your efforts could not protect you.

v20 Do not hope for death, when people lose everything.

v21 And do not choose evil behaviour! It is better to suffer troubles than to behave in an evil way. But Job, you seem to think otherwise.
