“Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!”
Job questions why God brought him out from the womb, expressing regret at his birth and wishing that he had not existed. The question invokes the regret already expressed in chapter 3 but now directed specifically to God. The accusation becomes personal: God is responsible for Job's existence and therefore for his suffering.
