Job 10:14-11:2 – If I sinned, you would be watching me
and would not let my offense go unpunished.
If I am guilty—woe to me! Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head,
for I am full of shame and drowned in my affliction. If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion
and again display your awesome power against me.
You bring new witnesses against me and increase your anger toward me; your forces come against me wave upon wave.
“Why then did you bring me out of the womb?
I wish I had died before any eye saw me.
If only I had never come into being,
or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!
Are not my few days almost over?
Turn away from me so I can have a moment’s joy before I go to the place of no return,
to the land of gloom and utter darkness,
to the land of deepest night,
of utter darkness and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”
Then Zophar the Naamathite replied:
“Are all these words to go unanswered?
Is this talker to be vindicated?
Ecclesiastes
4:2 – And I
declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier
than the living, who are still alive.
Ecclesiastes
7:1 – A good name
is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the
day of birth.
Application:
