Job 7:21

"Why then do You not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now. will lie down in the dust; and You will seek me, but. will not be"

Job asks if he has sinned, then why doesn't God forgive him? In addition, Job further says that if God is going to forgive Job, He had better do it quickly, for Job is about to die. The last line might be an allusion to when God sought for Adam and Eve in the garden. It seems to me that Job is basically saying, "When. die, You are not going to have me to push around anymore, and You will be sorry for how You treated me". "I'll soon be gone and you won't have me to kick around anymore" (Jackson p. 38).

Remember, even this book admits that Job is speaking rashly (Job 6:3), desperately (Job 6:26), and without understanding (Job 42:3).
