Job 10:8-12

Job could see that God designed the human body. And Job could see that this was not a simple task. God acted carefully when he made Job’s body. God did not cause Job to live by accident. Rather, God showed great kindness to Job.

These facts made Job’s problem seem even stranger. Surely, God would not cruelly destroy the person that he made so carefully.

Job thinks that God is punishing Job

v13 But you had a secret plan. I know that you did this. v14 You watch my behaviour. You punish my evil actions. v15 If I am guilty, I shall suffer your punishment. But even an innocent man must suffer. I suffer shame. I suffer troubles. v16 If I am proud, you hunt me like a lion. And you show that you are powerful.

v17 Now witnesses accuse me. Your anger increases. And you attack me again and again.
