Job 9:18-21,33-34 – He would not let me catch my breath
but would overwhelm me with misery. If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty!
And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him?
Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me;
if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.
“Although I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life…If only there were someone to mediate between us,
someone to bring us together, someone to remove God’s rod from me,
so that his terror would frighten me no more.
Job
10:1 – “I loathe my
very life; therefore I will give free rein to my complaint
and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.
Job
42:6 – Therefore I
despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”
Application:
- · Because Job is so bitter, his mind has conjured up a false picture of God.
- · God is so immense that Job feels he needs someone who can help him, someone who can argue his case in court.
- · To his humility Job adds repentance for the presumptuous words he had spoken to God.
