This phrase highlights the human tendency to seek immediate answers to pain and distress. In the context of the Book of Job, Job's request is for understanding and possibly for death to end his suffering. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of lament, where individuals would openly express their grievances to God. Theologically, it underscores the belief in a personal God who hears and responds to human petitions, a theme consistent throughout the Old Testament, such as in the Psalms (e.g., <a href="/psalms/22.htm">Psalm 22:1-2</a>).<p><b>and God would fulfill my hope:</b><br>Job's hope is not just for relief but for vindication and understanding of his suffering. This hope is rooted in his faith in God's justice and righteousness. The phrase connects to the broader biblical theme of hope in God's promises, as seen in <a href="/romans/5-5.htm">Romans 5:5</a>, where hope does not disappoint because of God's love. Job's hope also foreshadows the ultimate hope found in Jesus Christ, who provides the ultimate answer to human suffering and the fulfillment of God's promises. This reflects the eschatological hope found in the New Testament, where believers await the fulfillment of God's kingdom and the restoration of all things.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.

However exceptional Job's trials, yet his language is the common language of all sufferers who think that relief, if it comes, must come through change of circumstances rather than in themselves in relation to circumstances. Thus Job looks forward to death as his only hope; whereas with God and in God there were many years of life and prosperity in store for him. So strong is this feeling in him, that he calls death the thing that he longs for, his hope or expectation. (Comp. Job 17, where even the hope that he had in death seems to have passed away and to have issued in blank hopelessness.)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/job/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 8.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Oh that I might have my request!</span> Here the second point is taken up. Eliphaz has threatened Job with death, representing it as the last and most terrible of punishments (<a href="/job/4-9.htm">Job 4:9, 20, 21</a>; <a href="/job/5-2.htm">Job 5:2</a>). Job's reply is that there is nothing he desires so much as death. His primary wish would have been never to have been born (<a href="/job/3-3.htm">Job 3:3-10</a>); next to that, he would have desired an early death - the earlier the more acceptable (<a href="/job/3-11.htm">Job 3:11-19</a>). As both these have been denied him, what he now desires, and earnestly asks for, is a speedy demise. It is not as yet clear what he thinks death to be, or whether he has any hope beyond the grave. Putting aside all such considerations, he here simply balances death against such a life as he now leads, and must expect to lead, since his disease is incurable, and decides in favour of death. It is not only his desire, but his "request" to God, that death may come to him quickly. <span class="cmt_word">And that God would grant me the thing that I long for</span>; literally, <span class="accented">my expectation</span> or <span class="accented">wish</span>. The idea of taking his own life does not seem to have occurred to Job, as it would to a Greek (Plato, 'Phaedo,' § 16) or a Roman (Pithy, 'Epist.,' 1:12). He is too genuine a child of nature, too simple and unsophisticated, for such a thought to occur, and, if it occurred, would be too religious to entertain it for a moment. Like Aristotle, he would feel the act to be cowardly (Aristotle, 'Eth. Nic.,' 5, <span class="accented">sub fin.</span>); and, like Plato (<span class="accented">l.s.c</span>.), he would view it as rebellion against the will of God. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/job/6-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">If only</span><br /><span class="heb">מִֽי־</span> <span class="translit">(mî-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Interjection<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4310.htm">Strong's 4310: </a> </span><span class="str2">Who?, whoever, in oblique construction with prefix, suffix</span><br /><br /><span class="word">my request</span><br /><span class="heb">שֶֽׁאֱלָתִ֑י</span> <span class="translit">(še·’ĕ·lā·ṯî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7596.htm">Strong's 7596: </a> </span><span class="str2">Request, thing asked for</span><br /><br /><span class="word">were granted</span><br /><span class="heb">תָּב֣וֹא</span> <span class="translit">(tā·ḇō·w)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_935.htm">Strong's 935: </a> </span><span class="str2">To come in, come, go in, go</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and God</span><br /><span class="heb">אֱלֽוֹהַּ׃</span> <span class="translit">(’ĕ·lō·w·ah)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_433.htm">Strong's 433: </a> </span><span class="str2">God -- a deity, the Deity</span><br /><br /><span class="word">would fulfill</span><br /><span class="heb">יִתֵּ֥ן</span> <span class="translit">(yit·tên)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> </span><span class="str2">To give, put, set</span><br /><br /><span class="word">my hope:</span><br /><span class="heb">וְ֝תִקְוָתִ֗י</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ṯiq·wā·ṯî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8615.htm">Strong's 8615: </a> </span><span class="str2">A cord, expectancy</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/job/6-8.htm">Job 6:8 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/job/6-8.htm">OT Poetry: Job 6:8 Oh that I might have my request (Jb) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/job/6-7.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Job 6:7"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Job 6:7" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/job/6-9.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Job 6:9"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Job 6:9" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
