How preachers through history handled this text
8 public-domain excerpts on Job 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Job did not deny that as a sinner he deserved his sufferings; but he thought that justice was executed upon him with peculiar rigour. His gloom, unbelief, and hard thoughts of God, were as much to be ascribed to Satan's inward temptations, and his anguish of soul, under the sense of God's displeasure, as to his outward trials, and remaining depravity. Our Creator, become in Christ our Redeemer also, will not destroy the work of his hands in any humble believer; but will renew him unto holiness, that he may enjoy eternal life. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Job 10:14–30 (Public Domain)
