| English Standard Version: While away on my recent British Columbia tour, for work, I read through Job in the ESV and viewed this section which I should have cited on my doctoral thesis. But, my tutors did downplay the use of the Bible, in a Theology/Philosophy of Religion, PhD thesis. Even so, I did read through Job, but if this section would have connected with me then, it would be in my PhD or maybe even my MPhil work. Footnotes: Job 2:10 Or disaster; also verse 11 |

| The King James Version: These verses support my thesis concept that God causes (primary cause) and wills all things, including evil for the greater good, without God being sinful. God's always has good and holy motives. (Romans 8-9, Ephesians 1-2). An excellent support for compatibilism. |

| New American Standard Bible: But a serious problem for humanity is that when human beings as secondary causes, will evil, it is with sinful motives. At least somewhat tainted motives. Angels in obedience with God could only will evil under the command of God, for the greater good, therefore remaining holy in a finite sense. Therefore human beings are worthy of divine judgement as would be demonic beings for evil caused and willed. |
