Job maintains his innocence, and complains of his friends.
“And that this may be my comfort, that afflicting me with sorrow, he spare not, nor I contradict the words of the Holy One.” (Job 6:10)
Amidst great sufferings it is not a sin to ask the Lord for our deliverance and to express the misery of our souls.
“‘I do not care to oppose your words,’ Job says. ‘It seems to me, in fact, that I have committed nothing resembling what you say. I don’t state this openly. I simply say that I am suffering punishments that go beyond what human nature can endure. The vastness of my temptations extends far beyond what human bodies can actually bear.’ However, observe how, even in the midst of such grief, Job has not decided, in any case, to come and relate his good actions. He has hidden them so far. In addition, he who often with great honesty exposed his fault to public mockery before a brilliant audience is silent about his good actions, even while living in such misery. In fact, Job does not say, ‘I experienced these sufferings, even though I am righteous.’ Rather, Job says he cannot bear them.… His language is not that of a man who asserts that he is unjustly punished but that of one who recognizes, on the contrary, the justness of his punishment. He simply cannot bear any more punishment and therefore demands that he obtain forgiveness.” (Commentary on Job 6.10a) (4) -St. John Chrysostom
