Job 7 (summary): Job continues to reply

 Job now continues to struggle to understand his horrific suffering saying that he feels like a slave who endures nights of misery tossing and turning. His "body is clothed with worms and scabs", and he thinks about death. Job complains in the bitterness of his soul that he would prefer to be strangled to death! Job says that he despises his life because his days have no meaning. Job asks God in what way has he sinned because he feels like he is God's target who has become a burden to God. Job asks God why he does not pardon and forgive him?
