Job 6:1-30

The First Speech of Job (Job 6:7)

1-13. Job, smarting under the remarks of Eliphaz, which he feels are not appropriate to his case, renews and justifies his complaints. He bemoans the heaviness of God's hand, and wishes that He would slay him outright.

2, 3. Job admits that he was rash in his remarks (in Job 3), but declares that his language was justified by his miserable condition.
