←Prev   Job 10 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


10:1  1 Job is weary of his life, and setteth out his fragility before God. 20 He desireth him to stay his hand. 22 A description of death. My soul is cut off though I live: I will leave my complaint upon myself, and will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
10:2  I will say unto God, Condemn me not: show me, wherefore thou contendest with me.
10:3  Thinkest thou it good to oppress me, and to cast off the labor of thine hands, and to favor the counsel of the wicked?
10:4  Hast thou carnal eyes? or dost thou see as man seeth?
10:5  Are thy days as man’s days? or thy years as the time of man,
10:6  That thou inquirest of mine iniquity, and searchest out my sin?
10:7  Thou knowest that I cannot do wickedly: for none can deliver me out of thine hand.
10:8  Thine hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and wilt thou destroy me?
10:9  Remember, I pray thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10:10  Hast thou not poured me out as milk? and turned me to curds like cheese?
10:11  Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and joined me together with bones and sinews.
10:12  Thou hast given me life, and grace: and the visitation hath preserved my spirit.
10:13  Though thou hast hid these things in thine heart, yet I know that it is so with thee.
10:14  If I have sinned, then thou wilt straightly look unto me, and wilt not hold me guiltless of mine iniquity.
10:15  If I have done wickedly, woe unto me: if I have done righteously, I will not lift up mine head, being full of confusion, because I see mine affliction.
10:16  But let it increase: hunt thou me as a lion: return and show thyself marvelous upon me.
10:17  Thou renewest thy plagues against me, and thou increasest thy wrath against me: changes and armies of sorrows are against me.
10:18  Wherefore then hast thou brought me out of the womb? Oh that I had perished, and that none eye had seen me!
10:19  And that I were as I had not been, but brought from the womb to the grave!
10:20  Are not my days few? let him cease, and leave off from me, that I may take a little comfort,
10:21  Before I go and shall not return, even to the land of darkness and shadow of death:
10:22  Into a land, I say, dark as darkness itself, and into the shadow of death, where is none order, but the light is there as darkness.
