Job's plea

In chapter 10 from the book of Job, Job makes a tearful plea to the Lord.  With the pain he's going through, he feels an absolute disgust with his life.

Then, he pleas with the Lord to not only condemn his life but tell him why He is doing so.  He wants to truly know what he did wrong.

The Lord made him and now He seemed to destroy him.  For what gain?  For what purpose?

If Job is guilty, he wants to know what it is and he will accept it.  But Job wants to know why bother with his birth if only to turn him back to the dust in which he came.

He then ordered his friends to leave him alone as he knew he only had a few days left to live.
