Job 10: "Hey God, Pick On Someone Your Own Size!"

Job continues to vent and unleash his emotions in chapter 10 by questioning why God is picking such an unfair fight with a mortal like him (vs. 1-2).  He points out that God is vastly superior to himself, and that it is therefore very unsporting of God to bring such disaster upon Job (vs. 3-17).  The chapter concludes with a return to Job's earlier expressed desire to never have been born than to go through such a life of exquisite pain, loss and tragedy. He states that he simply wishes to be left alone (vs. 18-22).
