인죄수벌(因罪受罰) 인과응보(因果應報) 언제나 옳을까?
2024.9.27
(욥15:1-35)
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: 2 "Would a wise man answer with empty notions or fill his belly with the hot east wind? 3 Would he argue with useless words, with speeches that have no value? 4 But you even undermine piety and hinder devotion to God. 5 Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty. 6 Your own mouth condemns you, not mine; your own lips testify against you. 7 "Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? 8 Do you listen in on God's council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? 9 What do you know that we do not know? What insights do you have that we do not have? 10 The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men even older than your father. 11 Are God's consolations not enough for you, words spoken gently to you? 12 Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash, 13 so that you vent your rage against God and pour out such words from your mouth? 14 "What is man, that he could be pure, or one born of woman, that he could be righteous? 15 If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes, 16 how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks up evil like water! 17 "Listen to me and I will explain to you; let me tell you what I have seen, 18 what wise men have declared, hiding nothing received from their fathers 19 (to whom alone the land was given when no alien passed among them): 20 All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless through all the years stored up for him. 21 Terrifying sounds fill his ears; when all seems well, marauders attack him. 22 He despairs of escaping the darkness; he is marked for the sword. 23 He wanders about--food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand. 24 Distress and anguish fill him with terror; they overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack, 25 because he shakes his fist at God and vaunts himself against the Almighty, 26 defiantly charging against him with a thick, strong shield. 27 "Though his face is covered with fat and his waist bulges with flesh, 28 he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble. 29 He will no longer be rich and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land. 30 He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God's mouth will carry him away. 31 Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return. 32 Before his time he will be paid in full, and his branches will not flourish. 33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree shedding its blossoms. 34 For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of those who love bribes. 35 They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb fashions deceit."
오늘은 엘리바스의 언급을 보며
심(甚)하다는 생각을 당장(當場) 갖게 된다
1:1에 ‘...순전하고 정직하여 하나님을 경외하며 악에서 떠난 자...’라
하나님께 인정받을 욥을 향한 그의 죄인취급(罪人取扱) 인죄수벌논리(因罪受罰論理)를
욥에게 적용 회개회개(悔改回改)하지 않고 말만 많은 존재라고 갖은 독설(毒舌)을 서슴지 않는 그를 본다
인죄수벌(因罪受罰) 인과응보(因果應報)
모두가 맞는 말이기는 하지만
꼭 모든 경우에 이 논리를 적용할 수는 없는 것
엘리바스는 그 점을 몰랐던 것 같다
욥 자신도 엘리바스도
어찌하여 욥에게 시련이 닥친 것일까...라는 원인을 몰랐기에 벌어진 참상(慘狀)...
오늘따라
무지무지무식(無知無智無識)의 위험(危險)이 얼마나 하며...
때에 따라 참혹(慘酷)을 경험하게 될 수도 있다는 생각...하게된다
글을 쓰다보면 아직도 아는 것 같았던 모르는 단어가 가끔 눈에 들어온다
사전을 찾아볼 때 마다 드는 생각
60 고개를 넘도록 평생을 공부하는 세월을 보냈건만...
안다고 하였으나 실제로는 모르는 착각의 삶을 살았다는 사실을 확인 받는 것 같아
속상하기까지 하다
사실 욥 엘리바스
그들이 모르는 것은 당연하다
내게 욥기가 주어졌기에
나는 알 수 있어도...
그러나 나는 나를 아는가?
내게 일어나는 모든 일들의 원인을 아는가?
모른다... 당연하게도...!!!
그래서 나는 내일에 대한 생각보다는
지금 이 순간을 생각하기로 했다
나의 주님께서 나의 내일은 알아서 인도하실것이라 믿고
내게 주어진 순간 순간에 정성을 쏟는 것으로
더 이상의 앞 날을 걱정하지 않기로 했다
그래서 그런지...
평안(平安)... 내 마음 그래서 감사(感謝)
