How Many Questions Did Job Ask God?

In another article I outline the questions that God asked Job. In response, M Johnson wanted to know how many questions Job asked God. Well…not nearly as many. Here’s the much-shorter list.

• Does it please you to oppress me,
  to spurn the work of your hands,
  while you smile on the plans of the wicked?
• Do you have eyes of flesh?
  Do you see as a mortal sees?
• Are your days like those of a mortal
  or your years like those of a strong man,
  that you must search out my faults
  and probe after my sin—
  though you know that I am not guilty
  and that no one can rescue me from your hand?
• Your hands shaped me and made me.
  Will you now turn and destroy me?
• Remember that you molded me like clay.
  Will you now turn me to dust again?
• Did you not pour me out like milk
  and curdle me like cheese,
  clothe me with skin and flesh
  and knit me together with bones and sinews?
• Why then did you bring me out of the womb?
• Are not my few days almost over?
• Give me, O God, the pledge you demand.
  Who else will put up security for me?
• Have I not wept for those in trouble?
  Has not my soul grieved for the poor?
• I am unworthy – how can I reply to you?
