  2. Which aspect of God’s nature does Job challenge in Job 10:4-7?
  3. On which of God’s roles does Job focus in Job 10:8-12?
  4. Explain the analogy of congealing like cheese (Job 10:10).
  5. What is God’s inconsistency about which Job complains (Job 10:12-14)?
  6. What is God’s injustice about which Job complains (Job 10:15)?
  7. Explain the metaphor of the lion in Job 10:16. What is the prey’s role where the lion in concerned?
  8. The end of Job 10:17, as noted, is difficult and has been translated in a variety of ways. What is the meaning as it appears here? What theme does Job return to in Job 10:18-22?
  9. What place is Job describing in Job 10:21-22?
