1, My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2, I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3, Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4, Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
5, Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man’s days,
6, That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
7, Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
8, Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
9, Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10, Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11, Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12, Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13, And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
14, If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15, 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;
16, For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
17, Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
18, 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!
19, I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20, Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21, Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22, A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
In Job chapter 10 summary, the narrative delves deeper into Job’s lament and inner turmoil as he reflects on his suffering. Job, a man once esteemed for his righteousness, now wrestles with the profound anguish of his circumstances.
He began by expressing his bitterness, he felt as though the Creator has unfairly targeted him. Job implored the Almighty to scrutinize his actions and motives, acknowledging that the Creator possesses the insight to perceive his innocence.
Job’s discourse took a contemplative turn as he pondered the very nature of human existence.
“Why am I here,” he thought. He acknowledged that the Great Creator formed him intricately in the womb, an act that demonstrates divine craftsmanship. This realization contrasted with Job’s present state of suffering. This further led him to question why such immense care was taken in his creation only to experience just as immense hardship.
In his dialogue with His Maker, Job seemed to accuse the Creator of acting capriciously or unreasonably. This Job came because the Creator alternately granted and stripped away favor. Job grappled with a sense of divine arbitrariness or biases, feeling overwhelmed by his troubles.
Job desired to plead his case directly to His Maker, hoping for a fair hearing.
This chapter portrayed Job’s complex emotional state, oscillating between deep despair and a desperate yearning for divine understanding.
Job Chapter 10 highlighted Job’s internal struggle, as he wrestled with the seeming inconsistency between his former righteousness and his current suffering. He contemplated the divine design of human life while grappling with the harsh realities of pain and loss.
This chapter offers insight into the depths of human anguish and the quest for answers in the face of overwhelming adversity. This is the summary of Job chapter 10; Glory to the Creator of pains and comforts.
