Job 7

Job 7:1

7:1-10 Now Job addresses the Lord directly. It is as natural for him to have the death-wish as for a servant to long for rest after a hard day’s work. However in Job’s case the night hours bring no relief to his tortured body, as he tosses till dawn. Like a weaver’s shuttle his life is passing swiftly without hope, vanishing from sight like a cloud. 7:11-21 He asks the Lord why He should pay so much attention to an insignificant human being, hemming him in, terrifying him with nightmares, until he would rather be strangled. Is man so great that God should cause him to suffer continually? Even if Job had sinned, is there no pardon, since he is going to die soon anyway?
