Job 10:1–2 As in 7:11, Job explicitly announces his turn to address his Creator directly.
Job 10:3 Job’s awareness that he is the work of God’s hands provides the theme for the verses that follow.
Job 10:8–13 Job shares the wonder of the psalmist (Ps. 139:14) and the insight given to the prophet (Jer. 1:5a), but uses it here to proclaim his innocence.
Job 10:15–17 Even if he is in the right (v. 15; see also 9:15, 20), Job feels he has no strength to walk upright because of the weight of his suffering (10:15) and the threat of further affliction (vv. 16–17).
Job 10:21–22 Job repeatedly describes death as darkness and shadow. The adjectives (thick, deep) underscore his plea to be released from suffering while he still has the light of life.
