A series of images shows God's role in creating Job.
Your hands shaped me … You molded me like clay: This is how a "potter" makes a vessel (Isaiah 45:9; Jeremiah 18:1–12). Although the potter has complete control over the clay, Job still questioned God (Isaiah 45:9; Jeremiah 18:5–12; Romans 9:20–25).
return me to dust: This common theme in Job shows life's temporary nature (Job 4:19; 7:9–10, 21; 14:1–2, 10; see Genesis 3:19).
You not pour me out like milk, and curdle me like cheese: The Hebrew terms create a lively image of a new born baby still covered with vernix (a creamy substance).

Psalm 119:73
Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding to learn Your commandments.
Isaiah 43:7
…everyone called by My name and created for My glory, whom I have indeed formed and made.”
Job 10:3
Does it please You to oppress me, to reject the work of Your hands and favor the schemes of the wicked?
Jeremiah 18:3–10
So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working at the wheel.
Genesis 6:6–7
And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.
