This is one of the most impressive statements preserved in Holy Scripture, “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him” (Job 13:15 KJV).
John Calvin wrote a whole sermon on this section of Job’s speech. In it he compares God to a wise and benevolent surgeon. The surgeon knows when and where to attack the disease – and when to wait and stay his hands. Calvin says:
“Let us not think it strange if He does not heal them at once; for the disease must first be made ripe, and then God can apply His hand, and find suitable remedies. Let us know, then, that God knows what is good and proper for us, and let us wait for Him in patience." [1]
C.S. Lewis too, was fascinated by this passage.
