Job 21 - 23

Job complains that his trouble is not with man, it is with God.  God seems to act arbitrarily from what Job has become accustomed to seeing.  It frustrates him and makes him question why his situation has occurred.  Eliphaz accuses Job of some hidden character flaw that God is bringing out into the open through these circumstances, and pleads with Job to stop hiding his sin and make things right.  Job responds that God knows all about Job's character; nothing has been hidden, all is plain to God and Job has not sinned.
