Job cursed the day of his birth and wondered why he is in such a situation

What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me. I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil. – Job 3:25-26

Job cursed the day of his birth and wondered why he is in such a situation

Satan wants Job to curse God, this time he cursed the day of his birth (v3-10), and he would rather have not lived (v11-19). Birth and death. The pain and misery he faced caused him to say/write all these, and he did not blame God.

Job wonder why he is in such a situation (v20). Interestingly, Job still feared God and have faith in God, he is not concerned about what he has lost, and his health; Job is more concerned about losing God. Job is concerned about him or his children sinning against God (Job 1:5), that is what he greatly feared (v25).

  • Despite Job situation, he did not sin against God.
  • He wondered why he is in such a situation. God is listening to him.
