Job 10
1. Job, taking liberty of complaint, expostulates with God about his afflictions
18. He complains of life, and craves a little ease before death














though You know
This phrase highlights Job's appeal to God's omniscience. The Hebrew root for "know" is "יָדַע" (yada), which implies an intimate, comprehensive understanding. Job is acknowledging that God, in His infinite wisdom, is fully aware of Job's innocence. This reflects a deep theological truth: God is not distant or unaware of human struggles. In the conservative Christian perspective, this underscores the belief in a personal God who is intimately involved in the lives of His people, knowing their hearts and circumstances.

that I am not guilty
The assertion of innocence is central to Job's lament. The Hebrew word for "guilty" is "רָשַׁע" (rasha), often translated as wicked or guilty. Job is not claiming sinlessness in the absolute sense but is asserting his integrity and righteousness in the context of the accusations against him. This reflects the broader biblical theme of the righteous suffering unjustly, a motif that finds its ultimate expression in the suffering of Christ, who was without sin yet bore the sins of the world.

and there is no deliverance
The term "deliverance" comes from the Hebrew "פָּלַט" (palat), meaning to escape or be delivered. Job feels trapped in his suffering, with no way out. This expression of despair is a poignant reminder of the human condition in a fallen world. From a conservative Christian viewpoint, it points to the need for divine intervention and the hope of ultimate deliverance through faith in God. It echoes the biblical promise that God is a deliverer for those who trust in Him, even when immediate circumstances seem hopeless.

from Your hand
The "hand" of God is a metaphor for His power and sovereignty. In Hebrew, "hand" is "יָד" (yad), symbolizing control and authority. Job acknowledges that his situation is under God's sovereign control, even as he struggles to understand it. This reflects a profound theological truth: God's hand is both a source of comfort and a mystery. For conservative Christians, this underscores the belief in God's ultimate authority over all creation, and the assurance that His purposes, though sometimes inscrutable, are ultimately for the good of those who love Him.

(7) That I am not wicked.--The meaning is rather, that I shall not be found guilty. It is not like the appeal of Peter (John 21:17). See the language borrowed by the Psalmist (Psalm 119:73).

Verse 7. - Thou knowest that I am not wicked; rather, although thou knowest (see the Revised Version). Conscious of his own integrity and faithfulness, Job feels that God too must know them; wherefore it seems to him all the harder that he should be made to suffer as if he were a "chief sinner." And there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.

"'Tis excellent to have a giant's strength;
But tyrannous to use it like a giant."
Job's last ground of appeal is, that he is wholly at God s mercy, can look for no other deliverer, no other support or stay. Will not God, then, have pity, and "spare him a little, that he may recover his strength before he goes hence, and is no more seen "? (see Psalm 39:15; and comp. below, ver. 20).
