When does inquiry become demand for answers?

Now, in Job 11-14, the third friend, Zophar, gets a crack at helping Job understand the delimma. Again, his motives are good (God is in control), yet he does not have enough intel. Job is becoming more hostile in his response. See in C13v13. One point they all agree upon is that God is in control. We, as humans, try to fix things and control events. We look to our leaders to make everything ok. Money, we think, can fix things. As idol worship goes, it is never enough...because those "fixes" are just idols. Job is correct in his response to reach out for God. But careful Job, you might turn that response from hurt inquiry to angry demand.....lest we do similar in similar situations.....
