God chews Job out for putting himself on par with God, not because he cursed his birth. Otherwise, He wouldn't have restored Job for staying faithful or gotten angry at Job's friends for not supporting him properly either.


* TheBadGuyWins: The book is controversial for many reasons, namely, Job does not curse God directly like Satan bet he would, [[DespairSpeech but by cursing his birth]], he by proxy implicitly cursed the creator ''who gave him life'', meaning Satan '''won the bet'''. God now has to give TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the ruined man.
