Job is contemplating death, lamenting that things are all passing away, and reflecting, “Well, Lord, I know there is a part of you that seems to be angry, and I don’t understand that. But I know there’s another part of you that loves me.” So Job is appealing to that second part. He suggests, as we might with our more evolved lingo, “Can’t you just put me away in Limbo for a while? Put me away until you get back in touch with that better part of yourself and you’re not mad at me anymore.”
