Chapter 30 - Mocked
Job laments that now even the children of the homeless mock him.
Job's skin grows black and peels. He is constantly burning from fever.
He has become the brother of dogs and the companion of owls.
*Expectation Suffering*
When we expect something, a result less favorable than our expectations can cause a type of psychological suffering. The more righteous Job was in his past, the more he will psychologically suffer as the gap between what he expects that he deserves and what he gets grows. The juxtaposition between his righteous life and his horrific suffering is so great that the recognition of it can be quite painful.
