Job 3:23 | MHM | STEP | v. 23 : Job feels personally treated unfairly because he cannot escape his pain except by death, which does not come. He becomes impatient with his life and forgets to be thankful to God, the giver of life. Job’s attitude shows that it is wrong to wish for death just because of trouble. Instead, we should prepare for the next life and trust God to decide when we leave this world. We should be willing both to live through hardships and to die when God wills. Job tries to excuse his desire for death by saying life brings him no comfort.
