Curse God and die!
All ten of her children killed in one accident, all of the cattle wealth vanished in a single day by a combination of hostile raiders and fire from heaven, honourable husband suddenly reduced to a caricature of a man with sore boils from head to foot, the unnamed wife of Job was understandably trenchant.

How you react is a matter of choice!
