Job 24-28: The Beginning of Wisdom

Job has grown faint in trying to reason with God.  Now he is just trying to figure it out, to come to a logical conclusion.  The first thing he concludes is that life is not fair.

"Why does the Almighty not set times for judgment?
Why must those who know him look in vain for such days?
Men move boundary stones; they pasture flocks they have stolen.
They drive away the orphan's donkey and take the widow's ox in pledge.
They thrust the needy from the path and force all the poor of the land into hiding. - Job 24:1-4 NIV

Job's second conclusion echoes his friend Bildad who said "Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven. - Job 25:2 NIV  Job can see God's majesty and power
 
Death is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it ....
And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him!
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?" - Job 26:8-14 NIV

Job's final conclusion is that wisdom comes from God. 
 
"Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell?
It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds of the air.
Destruction and Death say, 'Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.'
God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells,
for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
When he established the force of the wind and measured out the waters,
when he made a decree for the rain and a path for the thunderstorm,
then he looked at wisdom and appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it.
And he said to man,
'The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.' " - Job 28:20-28

Perhaps Job will stop arguing his case now that he is beginning to understand that life is not fair, God is in charge, and God alone is the source of wisdom.
