Suffering Job: The Righteous are Slain

Job 13:15 "Though He slay me, I will hope in Him."

Job is in such grief and pain that he laments the day he was born, yet he will not give up his hope in God. It is as if the hope of the Lord is permanently etched into his heart, so firmly established that it would be easier to carve his heart out of his chest than to remove his hope in God. Here righteousness is displayed as an untarnished, brilliant bronze breastplate, though its inhabitant may appear frail with decay and wounded to the point of death.
