Job declares the miseries of man’s life: and addresses himself to God.
“Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold now I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be” (Job 7:21)
The sufferings of this life, we cannot fully understand: we can only look to the Lord for our deliverance, from both our sins and this mortal body.
“What does Job mean when he says, ‘What shall I be able to do for you?’ What should I do in order to expiate my fault, in order to be reconciled with you? ‘O you who understand the human mind, why did you make me to be your accuser?’ Job speaks this way not because he accuses God—God forbid!—but because what has happened to him raises a serious accusation against God. That is why he says, ‘You who understand the human mind.’ Even if they do not speak, you know their secret thoughts and all their intimate reflections, ‘such a righteous man has suffered such tremendous misfortunes!’ But Job does not have the attitude of a man who tries to justify himself. In fact, he has not said, ‘I am righteous.’ Rather, they are deeply concerned about me, and that is why they have complained against you because of my trials.” (Commentary on Job 7.20a–b)(4) -St. John Chrysostom
