Job 21:4

PrayerDoubtPatience

2 “Listen carefully to my words; let this be your consolation to me.

3 Bear with me while I speak; then, after I have spoken, you may go on mocking.

Is my complaint against a man? Then why should I not be impatient?

5 Look at me and be appalled; put your hand over your mouth.

6 When I remember, terror takes hold, and my body trembles in horror.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
