In Job chapter 10, he continues to regret his situation and question God about why he is suffering so much. He feels wronged and helpless, and calls for God for answers. The verses related to these themes are:
Psalm 22:1: "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far from saving me so far from my screams of anguish?" This verse portrays the pain of feeling abandoned by God in the midst of suffering, the same feeling that Job expressed in chapter 10.
Psalm 88:3-4: "My soul is saturated with evils, and my life is on the edge of sheol. I am counted among those who come down to the grave; I am like a man without strength." This psalm also expresses the feeling of helplessness and deep sadness in the midst of pain, which Job feels.
Isaiah 45:9: "Woe to the one who contains with his Creator! He is like a shard among other clay shards. Can the clay say to the potter: 'What are you doing?' Or: 'Your work has no handle '? " This verse refers to the fact that God is sovereign and should not be questioned or contested by his creation, which is a point that Job needed to learn.
Romans 9:20: "But who are you, O man, to question God? Creation should not question its Creator and must trust his sovereignty, a lesson that Job needed to learn.
Philippians 4:6-7: "Don't worry about anything, but in all prayers ask God what you need and always pray with a grateful heart. And the peace of God, that no one can understand, will keep the heart and the Mind of you, for you are united with Christ Jesus. " This verse emphasizes the importance of prayer and trust in God in the midst of adversity, something that Job also demonstrates by crying out for answers and help.
