Job 6:1

CHAPTER VI

Job answers, and vindicates himself; and shows that the great

affliction which he suffered was the cause of his complaining,

by which life was rendered burdensome to him, 1-13.

He complains that, whereas he expected consolation from his

friends, he had received nothing but the bitterest reproaches,

on the assumed ground that he must be a wicked man, else God

would not so grievously afflict him, 14-20.

He shows them that they knew nothing of his case, and that they

had no compassion, 21-23.

And then entreats them, if they can, to show him in what he has

offended, as he is ready to acknowledge and correct every

trespass, 24-30.
