4. Confession of we...

Job's tone becomes sharper. He accuses God of having created him only
to torment him. What profit is there to God in destroying the work

IT is with an infinitely sad restatement of what God has been made to

SOUL BITTERNESS
Job 10:1
In this chapter Job accuses God of persecuting His own workmanship,

enough to wait between them, but mu...

Notwithstanding all this, Job appealed to God. Turning from his answer
to Bildad, he poured out his agony as in the presence of the Most
High. It was by no means a hopeful appeal, but it was an appeal...

AN ATTEMPT TO REASON WITH GOD
