Job's Moral Superiority and Rationality
Jung highlights Job's insistence on his innocence and his quest for a fair trial before Yahweh, despite acknowledging divine power. This underscores the ethical conundrum presented by divine actions. Job's steadfastness and moral integrity force Yahweh to confront his own nature, revealing Job's superior knowledge. Jung notes, 'Without Yahweh's knowledge and contrary to his intentions, the tormented though guiltless Job had secretly been lifted up to a superior knowledge of God which God himself did not possess.'
