Do you remember the great prophets in the Bible who reached the point where they wanted to die? Moses did. Elijah did. And now we are seeing that Job felt the same way. But there are some interesting differences between his situation and the circumstances of Moses and Elijah. Moses and Elijah were not suffering physical pain. Moses was feeling extremely stressed, and Elijah was both stressed and afraid. Job felt intense emotional pain and excruciating physical pain at the same time. When Moses and Elijah asked God if they could die, they were talking directly to Him. No one else heard them. In Job's case, his friends heard what he said and it made them upset. That's when a friendly visit turned in to an ugly argument. But at least we can say that, even though things did not turn out for the best initially, the whole matter was resolved in the end. And had it not been for this disagreement, we would not have the book of Job as it is written.
