Job 10: What God Did

Job 10:18 "Why then did you bring me out of the womb? I wish I had died before any eye saw me."

Job continues his agonized prayer in chapter ten. He speaks directly to God. Just about every statement talks about what God did, and ends with what Job wishes God would have done. Job's language continues to be very desparate.

What God created, Job wants destroyed, essentially. What was made to be great is now dead, in Job's opinion.

I want to say, "What is with this guy?" all the while knowing I will (hopefully) never go through what Job has gone through. Job has these moments of lucidity, where he's so close to having a good thought, rationalizing what God has done. But then Job plummets into despair, hating his life. Not hating God though. Some of the things he says about God could read as a praise song, were they not in context of Job's pain.

I don't know what else I can say. Job had his family taken away, he is in agony and grief, and he doesn't know what God is doing. But he does know God is sovereign.
