Job 10:2 Context
1My soule is weary of my life, I will leaue my complaint vpon my selfe; I will speake in the bitternesse of my soule. 2I will say vnto God, Doe not condemne mee; shewe me wherefore thou contendest with me. 3Is it good vnto thee, that thou shouldest oppresse? that thou shouldest despise the worke of thine hands? and shine vpon the counsell of the wicked? 4Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

Wesley's Notes for Job 10:2
10:2 Condemn - Or, pronounce me not to be a wicked man, neither deal with me as such, as I confess thou mightest do in rigorous justice: O discover my integrity by removing this stroke, for which my friends condemn me. Wherefore - For what ends and reasons, and for what sins; for I am not conscious to myself of any peculiar sins by which I have deserved to be made the most miserable of all men. When God afflicts, he contends with us: when he contends with us, there is always a reason for it. And it is desirable to know, what that reason is, that we may forsake whatever he has a controversy with us for.
