“Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,”
Job requests that God let him alone for the few days of his life, seeking respite from divine scrutiny and assault. The phrase 'few days' acknowledges the brevity of human life and requests that the remaining time be left undisturbed. The appeal for solitude and peace suggests that consciousness of divine hostility is itself a form of torture.
