Why?

God has wronged me v.6-12 – There is no justice.   He has blocked my way.   Look at the range of images that Job uses to describe God attacking him.  God is portrayed as an enemy soldier besieging his small tent (v.12). God has obstructed, darkened, stripped, decrowned, tore down, uprooted hope, angry,  and the one who alienates.   Was Job right to feel like this?  He was certainly wrong in his perception of God – God was not angry with him.  Perhaps Job’s greatest complaint is that God is silent – as contrasted with the chattering of his friends.   He feels rejected by him – like David in Psalm 77 – as we sang.
