Job 10

job seems to be wondering about the nature of God

he sees Gods goodness in things and then doesnt understand why God is doing this to him but maybe he doesnt know about satan and how it isnt God directly doing it

Remember that you molded me like clay.

Will you now turn me to dust again?

10 Did you not pour me out like milk

and curdle me like cheese,

11 clothe me with skin and flesh

and knit me together with bones and sinews?

12 You gave me life and showed me kindness,

and in your providence watched over my spirit.

about God's goodness ..its reflecting in this verse , n like little child he is grieving in front of his father

Job continues questioning God about what's happening with him and speaks in bitterness, such as saying God 'smiles on the plans of the wicked' (verse 3). He still maintains his innocence, as he says, "though you know I am not guilty" in verse 7. Basically tells God to leave him alone in verse 20. Some parts do seem like he feels guilty of something, though. I suppose he's pretty confused and reasoning with his own thoughts to find an answer. You're right, Job and his friends (and pretty much everyone in the old testament) obviously don't have a clear revelation of the devil like us new testament believers have, and how bad comes through him and he only wants to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). Again, a lot of people nowadays blame bad things that happen in this world on God. They have a wrong teaching/understanding of God and why things happen the way they do.
