The number "ten" is often used in the Bible to signify completeness or a full measure, suggesting that Job feels thoroughly and unjustly criticized. This reflects the cultural context of ancient Near Eastern societies, where friends were expected to offer support and comfort, not condemnation. The repeated reproach from his friends contrasts with the biblical principle of bearing one another's burdens (<a href="/galatians/6-2.htm">Galatians 6:2</a>). Job's lament here can be seen as a foreshadowing of Christ's experience, who was also reproached and misunderstood by those around Him (<a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3</a>).<p><b>you shamelessly mistreat me.</b><br>Job accuses his friends of mistreatment, highlighting the lack of compassion and understanding they have shown. This mistreatment can be seen as a violation of the covenantal friendship that was expected in ancient times, where loyalty and support were paramount. The Hebrew word for "mistreat" implies a sense of disgrace or insult, indicating the depth of Job's hurt. This phrase connects to the broader biblical theme of suffering and the call to respond with empathy and kindness, as seen in the teachings of Jesus (<a href="/matthew/7-12.htm">Matthew 7:12</a>). Job's experience here can be viewed as a type of Christ, who was also mistreated and bore the sins of others without cause (<a href="/1_peter/2-23.htm">1 Peter 2:23</a>).<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.
