3.17 Ibi impii. Id est, in luce Christi, quam antiqui præstolati sunt, Gentiles a turba desideriorum mundi cessant, et tranquilla mente jam æternam quietem prægustant. Et hoc est: Et ibi requieverunt. In mundo fortes robore, non fessi dicuntur. Qui vero in amore Dei roboratur, salubriter a sua virtute deficit, et quo fortius æterna petit, eo magis fessus, in terrenis moritur. Unde: Concupiscit, et deficit anima mea in atria Domini Psal. 38.. Dum ibi dicit lucem, locum electorum quo continentur, ostendit.
3.17 There impii. That it_is, in luce of_Christ, how antiqui præstolati are, Gentiles from turba desideriorum mundi cessant, and tranquilla mente yam eternal quietem prægustant. And this it_is: And there requieverunt. In mundo strong robore, not/no fessi dicuntur. Who vero in amore of_God roboratur, salubriter from his_own virtute deficit, and quo fortius æterna petit, eo magis fessus, in terrenis moritur. Whence: Concupiscit, and deficit anima mea in atria Master Psal. 38.. Dum there dicit lucem, place electorum quo continentur, ostendit.
3:1-26 Job’s outburst did not mean that his integrity had cracked under the strain (42:7-8; Jas 5:11). Elijah and Jeremiah, both godly men, used the same hyperbolic language (1 Kgs 19:4; Jer 20:14-18).
Complaints
The Bible generally depicts complaining as wrong. For example, God judged the Israelites for grumbling about their hardships in the wilderness (Num 14:27-37). Job complained mightily and earned God’s rebuke for it, yet God ultimately confirmed Job’s righteousness and rejected those who tried to stop him from complaining (Job 42:7-8).
Job’s fundamental complaint was that God did not give him a fair hearing to demonstrate his innocence. Job’s friends attacked him for trying to vindicate himself, but God upheld Job’s innocence. In a gracious but firm act of self-revelation, God rebuked Job for his overreaching self-defense and implied criticism of God’s fairness. God shifted Job’s focus away from his troubles and toward God himself (Job 38–41).
Scripture admonishes us to rejoice and give thanks in all situations (Eph 5:20; Phil 4:4; 1 Thes 5:16-18). It also calls us to endure through suffering and to persist in prayer (Jas 5:10-18). If we do want to complain in prayer, we should follow the pattern of the psalms, which lead us past ourselves and back to God (see, e.g., Ps 13). Job’s positive example (Jas 5:11) is not so much in how he responded to his troubles or to his comforters but in how he responded to God (Job 40:3-5; 42:1-6). In the midst of difficult and confusing situations that may precipitate a desire to complain, we can still acknowledge the sovereignty and goodness of God.

wicked & ones_weary_of strength
