“If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:”
Job notes that if he says, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sadness and be of good cheer,' he cannot escape his suffering. The hypothetical attempt to deny suffering and choose cheerfulness cannot succeed because the suffering is real and inescapable. The attempt to suppress the pain only reveals its indomitable reality.
