←Prev   Job 10 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


10:1  My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
10:2  I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me why you contend with me.
10:3  Is it good unto you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile upon the counsel of the wicked?
10:4  Have you eyes of flesh? or see you as man sees?
10:5  Are your days as the days of man? are your years as man's days,
10:6  That you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
10:7  You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of your hand.
10:8  Your hands have made me and fashioned me together totally; yet you do destroy me.
10:9  Remember, I beseech you, that you have made me as the clay; and will you bring me into dust again?
10:10  Have you not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
10:11  You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have knit me together with bones and sinews.
10:12  You have granted me life and favor, and your care has preserved my spirit.
10:13  And these things have you hid in your heart: I know that this is with you.
10:14  If I sin, then you mark me, and you will not acquit me from my iniquity.
10:15  If I am wicked, woe unto me; and if I am righteous, yet can I not lift up my head. I am full of disgrace; therefore see my affliction;
10:16  For it increases. You hunt me as a fierce lion: and again you show yourself awesome against me.
10:17  You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation upon me; changes and war are ever with me.
10:18  Why then have you brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had died, and no eye had seen me!
10:19  I would have been as though I had not been; I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
10:20  Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
10:21  Before I go where I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
10:22  A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
