Job 6:8

Job hopes for death, that God would grant his request to die (Job 3:20-23), and loose His hand from sustaining Job's life. "The Hebrew verb rendered 'loose' carries the idea of settling prisoners freed and the Hebrew verb rendered 'cut off' pictures. weaver cutting thread" (Zuck p. 37). Job 6:10 "But it is still my consolation": His pain was unsparing, that is, did not let up, he never had any rest, but his only consolation in all this suffering is that he had not denied God. This is the first of several of Job's affirmations that he is innocent and has not rebelled against God. He had not betrayed God's trust, he has been an obedient servant, thus his suffering is not because of his own rebellion.
