Wisdom in the Book of Job: My experience shows that those who plant trouble and cultivate evil will harvest the same. Job 4:8

The Book of Job is a didactic or moral book that seeks to leave a spiritual teaching about the importance of that "poverty of spirit" that is necessary to know God, and the book does this through the events that happened to a character named Job who lived far from the holy land, in a country called Uz.
This character called Job, according to the book that bears his name, was a man who feared God and who had prospered greatly thanks to his wisdom. But without knowing how, a series of misfortunes began to happen to Job that left him in ruin and it was in this situation that he received a visit from three friends, Zophar, Eliphaz, and Bildad.
The book tells how the dialogues between the friends took place, and it is interesting to note how, ignoring the truth about the actions of the accusing angel before the court of God, they tried to find the answers to the events that happened to Job through human wisdom; that wisdom that aspired to find all the answers.
Job began his first speech by complaining bitterly about his bad situation, and so Eliphaz, who was the first to answer the complaint, gave Job an answer, and he did so by citing a famous law related to wisdom, Eliphaz mentioned the law of sowing and reaping, a law of balance and retribution:
"Stop and think! Do the innocent die?
When have the upright been destroyed?
My experience shows that those who plant trouble
and cultivate evil will harvest the same" Job 4:7-8.
For Eliphaz, it was illogical that those who sow good reap evil as had happened to his friend Job, but the truth is that human wisdom according to the Bible cannot be above the mysterious designs of God. Job and his friends tried to become judges over that which God had determined and so they sinned. This is why the Bible teaches that beyond suffering, man must put his faith and trust in God with that poverty of spirit that God demands of man.
