Bildad and Zophar’s first speeches: Job 8–11
The lack of empathy from Job’s friends is a consistent themes throughout Job. It’s hard to admit that bad things happen to good people, so it’s easy to lay the blame for Job’s condition onto him: Job must have done something to deserve such treatment from God.
So where does that leave Job?
Still wishing he’d never been born:
Job 10:18-19 Why, then, did you deliver me from my mother’s womb? Why didn’t you let me die at birth? It would be as though I had never existed, going directly from the womb to the grave.
And expecting (or asking for?) a shortened life:
Job 10:20-21 I have only a few days left, so leave me alone, that I may have a moment of comfort before I leave—never to return—for the land of darkness and utter gloom.
