What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Who hath added blasphemy upon his sins. He accuses him of having deserved scourges for his sins, and of having sinned after the scourges. But the Lord judges far otherwise, Who both asserts that he was scourged without reason, and conferred on him double goods, after his scourges. Blessed Job, then, is proved to have spoken without sin, whom rewards follow after his speech. …
Thomas Aquinas
He says with greater exaggeration, "Who in addition to all his sins," to the past sins for which he has been scourged, "adds blasphemy," in saying he is just, but God is unjust. For this he first desires punishment for him in the present, and so he says, "let him be bound among us meanwhile," with adversities. Second, he implies future punishments, and so he says, "and then," after he has already suffered temporally, "to judgment," of future revenge, "let him provoke God by his speeches," by which he blasphemes against him.
