Commentary on Job 6:9
Job's request: 'Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!' The Hebrew 'dakak' (destroy/crush) and 'batsa'' (cut off) are violent terms. Job asks God to finish what He started—to complete his destruction rather than prolonging his agony. The phrase 'let loose his hand' suggests God is restraining His full judgment. Job would prefer swift death to prolonged suffering, yet notably he asks God to do this rather than taking his own life.
