In Ezekiel 14, God highlights the righteousness of Noah, Daniel, and Job as exemplary, prompting an inquiry into the source of their righteousness. Focusing on Job, the first verse of his account describes him as blameless and upright, fearing God and shunning evil, a description God Himself affirms, declaring there is none like him on earth. Job's righteousness surpassed mere adherence to law; it embodied justice, mercy, compassion, and care for the poor while rejecting greed and materialism. Even satan, the accuser, could not charge Job with wrongdoing, silently agreeing to his uprightness. God's response to Job reveals the origin of his righteousness. Through powerful reminders of His creative sovereignty over the earth, oceans, weather, stars, and animals, God emphasizes the vast difference between Himself and man. Though silent on the creation of mankind, this omission likely led Job to realize that he, too, was shaped by the Creator. Job's righteousness was not self-derived or the result of inherent goodness; rather, it was formed by God out of nothingness, just as He created all things. God crafted Job's character over time, providing the environment, circumstances, and revelations necessary for him to develop self-control, empathy, justice, and awareness of divine standards. Every aspect of Job's being traced back to God's provision and protection, showing that his righteousness was a product of God's ongoing creative work. God's detailed description of Leviathan, representing satan, further underscores Job's dependence on divine protection against overwhelming forces and serves as a warning against pride. Job's initial inability to fully grasp God's sovereignty over his own life led him to challenge God, mirroring the adversary's stance. Yet, through God's revelation, Job's defenses crumbled, making him pliable and yielding. The righteousness of Noah, Daniel, and Job ultimately stemmed from God's calling, grace, and transformative work in their lives, leaving no room for personal boasting, as all glory belongs to Him.
