In the beginning of Job chapter six, Job asks if livestock complain when there is plenty of food? The answer is no. Job is saying that what he is complaining about isn't from a place of plenty and safety but a place of real pain. There are many times when a person's problems are deep and emotional and it feels that others don't appreciate it. Job's friends have seen the pain and sat with him for six days but now they are trying to give their answers from their knowledge of what Job needs to do. Job as I see it is saying, I've got real problems and you don't seem to get it. If this is Job's thought, I think he is wrong, they do see the real problem, their issue is they haven't asked God what to do but are trying to fix the problem they think is there.
