“My anger burns against you and against your two friends, for
you have not spoken of me what is right.”
In his first letter to the churches in Corinth, as he so
often does, Paul appeals to the authority of the Old Testament in making his
argument. He says, “For
it is written.” Apparently that settles the matter.
Incidentally, Paul is quoting from the book of Job. The
text at the top of this post comes from Job as well.
