Job 7:7–16, “O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me? When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.”
The place of pain is the loneliest place on earth, whether it is physical, emotional or spiritual pain. Job was suffering unexpected pain and he didn’t believe that he had done anything to deserve that pain. Very few people who suffer believe that they deserve to suffer although if we see someone else suffering then we often believe that the other person deserves to suffer. Job had lost hope that he would ever be free from his pain. He wasn’t expecting to be relieved from his pain due to good behaviour. This being so, he decided that he would complain about his pain and let his friends know that he was suffering. He longed to go to bed but then his sleep was troubled by bad dreams.
