| Job 10:1 |
My soul loathes my own life; / I will let my complaint have free course in me; / I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. |
| Job 10:2 |
I will say to God, Do not account me wicked; / Make known to me why You contend with me. |
| Job 10:3 |
Does it [seem] good to You to oppress, / To despise the toil of Your hands / And shine upon the counsel of the wicked? |
| Job 10:4 |
Do You have eyes of flesh? / Or do You see as a man sees? |
| Job 10:5 |
Are Your days like the days of a man, / Or Your years like the days of a mighty man, |
| Job 10:6 |
That You would seek out my iniquity / And search for my sin, |
| Job 10:7 |
Even though You know that I am not wicked / And that there is none who can deliver out of Your hand? |
| Job 10:8 |
Your hands have shaped me and made me altogether, / Yet You destroy me. |
| Job 10:9 |
Remember now that You have made me like clay; / And will You return me to the dust? |
| Job 10:10 |
Have You not poured me out like milk / And curdled me like cheese? |
| Job 10:11 |
You have clothed me with skin and flesh / And woven me together with bones and sinews. |
| Job 10:12 |
You have granted me life and lovingkindness, / And Your visitation has preserved my spirit. |
| Job 10:13 |
But You have hidden these things in Your heart; / I know that this is with You: |
| Job 10:14 |
If I sin, You mark me, / And You do not acquit me of my iniquity; |
| Job 10:15 |
If I am wicked, woe unto me; / If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head, / Being filled with dishonor and looking on my affliction. |
| Job 10:16 |
And if my head should be lifted up, You would hunt me down like a lion, / And You would again demonstrate wonders on me. |
| Job 10:17 |
You renew Your witnesses against me / And increase Your anger against me; / Attacking waves and a host are against me. |
| Job 10:18 |
And why have You brought me out of the womb? / I should have died that no eye had seen me; |
| Job 10:19 |
I should have been as though I had not been; / I should have been carried from birth to the grave. |
| Job 10:20 |
Are not my days few? Cease then, / And let me alone, that I may be somewhat revived, |
| Job 10:21 |
Before I go, and never return, / To the land of darkness and the shadow of death, |
| Job 10:22 |
The land of gloom like deep darkness, / The shadow of death without order, / Which shines like deep darkness. |
