Holy Scripture

Job 34:36

A church father on this verse
“He did not say, in an iniquitous and impious manner, but "for a long time," showing that we must not argue with God for a long time. If, when we are in the presence of a king, we do not dare argue with him for a long time, even more so we must behave before God.”
