Job 10:14–22, “If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction; For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me. Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me! I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.”
Job thought that the Lord would always punish people who sinned but if he hadn’t sinned then why was the Lord giving him such grief? He was confused and didn’t understand what was happening. His current circumstances were a long way outside his experience or his understanding. Why did the Lord allow Job to survive the birthing process? It would have been much better if he had been stilborn. He asked the Lord to give him a break from all this suffering so that he could enjoy the last part of his life.
