"Therefore. will not restrain my mouth;. will speak in the anguish of my spirit,. will complain in the bitterness of my soul": Job will not remain quiet, it seems that he feels he has nothing to lose. After asking God to remember the brevity of his life, he now utters this complaint. "The suffering saint utters. bitter tirade against God, words which he later deeply regretted when he better understood the picture" (Jackson p. 38). Truly, the tongue can be very difficult to control (James 3:1ff).
