Job 10
10
Job Bemoans His Condition
1My soul is weary of my life;
I will leave my complaint upon myself;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2I will say unto God, Do not condemn me;
show me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress,
that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands,
and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4Hast thou eyes of flesh?
Or seest thou as man seeth?
5 Are thy days as the days of man?
Are thy years as man's days,
6that thou inquirest after mine iniquity,
and searchest after my sin?
7Thou knowest that I am not wicked;
and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
8Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about;
yet thou dost destroy me.
9Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay;
and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10Hast thou not poured me out as milk,
and curdled me like cheese?
11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh,
and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12Thou hast granted me life and favor,
and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13And these things hast thou hid in thine heart:
I know that this is with thee.
14If I sin, then thou markest me,
and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15If I be wicked, woe unto me;
and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head.
I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
16for it increaseth.
Thou huntest me as a fierce lion:
and again thou showest thyself marvelous upon me.
17Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me;
changes and war are against me.
18Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?
Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19I should have been as though I had not been;
I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? Cease then,
and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21before I go whence I shall not return,
even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22a land of darkness, as darkness itself;
and of the shadow of death, without any order,
and where the light is as darkness.

Job 10
10
Job 10
1¶ My soul is cut off in my life; therefore, I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; cause me to understand why thou dost contend with me.
3 Is it good unto thee that thou should oppress, that thou should reject the work of thine hands and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4Hast thou eyes of flesh? Dost thou see as man sees?
5 Are thy days as the days of man? Are thy years as man’s days,
6that thou dost enquire after my iniquity and search after my sin?
7Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is no one that can deliver out of thy hand.
8¶ Thine hands have formed me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
9Remember now that thou hast formed me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
10Hast thou not poured me out as milk and curdled me like cheese?
11Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh and hast hedged me with bones and sinews.
12Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation has kept my spirit.
13And these things thou hast hid in thine heart; I know that this is with thee.
14¶ If I sinned, wilt thou mark me and not cleanse me from my iniquity?
15If I am wicked, woe unto me; and if I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, being full of dishonour and of seeing my affliction.
16And thou dost increase. Thou dost hunt me as a fierce lion; turning and doing marvels in me.
17Thou dost renew thy plagues against me and increase thine indignation upon me, bringing up armies against me.
18Why then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the spirit and no eye had seen me!
19I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few? Cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
21before I go, to not return, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22land of darkness, as darkness itself, and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
