This chapter is the second part of Job's response to Eliphaz' 2nd response to him. By this time his spirit was broken and he says that the grave was ready for him. Job's three friends have not helped Job at all during this time of his great grief and pain. Rather, their speeches have aggravated the situation that he is in, greatly.
