10:12 Unfailing Love God’s “unfailing love,” introduced here by Job and resurfacing again in 37:13 by Elihu, is an unwavering commitment that God makes toward the objects of his love. He actively sustains, guards, protects, and directs the lives of his children. Job knew this instinctively, but he didn’t understand how to reconcile this truth with the reality of his present circumstances. No matter how bad things seemed, Job should have been able to rest in the knowledge that God had not forsaken him.
