The Sufferer

The final truth one might glean from Job is that the true sufferer is beyond moral judgment. The internal response of the sufferer is not ours to evaluate. All grieving is holy. The sufferer is the revelation of God to others. Ours is to love and serve as a service to God, not to try to stand in God's place for the sufferer, as explainer and judge. To do this is to mock God.
