Job chapter 10

After reading chapter 10:

*More of Job's laments. He hates his life and is going to complain all he wants. Also, he wants an explanation from God (elowah). What has he got against Job? Is he having fun playing with people's lives? Does God have physical eyes to see people? Good question. Is finding fault with Job a good use of god's time? Didn't God make Job and give him the life that he had once enjoyed? Even if Job is innocent, he is ashamed and overwhelmed by god's power against him. God keeps  bringing new witnesses against him and god's forces come against Job, wave upon wave. This sounds like gaslighting to me.

*Job wishes he had never existed. He wants God to leave him alone so he can have a moment's joy before he goes to the place of no return, "the land of deepest night" or death. No heaven or hell here.
