Job 3:1 - Additional Comments

Job's initial reaction was not against his God, but against his existance. His pain is great great that he would rather not have been born rather than have to go through what he is going through.
Note the grand, poetic, and eloquent way in which Job describes throughout this chapter his wish that he'd have avoided birth.
