Job 10

10
Job: I Abhor My Life
1“My soul loathes my life; # Nu 11:15; 1Ki 19:4
I will freely give my complaint,
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. # Job 7:11
2I will say to God, Do not condemn me;
show me why You contend with me. # Job 9:29
3Is it good for You that You should oppress,
that You should despise the work of Your hands # Job 14:15; Ps 138:8
and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4Do You have eyes of flesh?
Or do You see as man sees? # 1Sa 16:7
5Are Your days as the days of man?
Are Your years as the days of a mortal, # 2Pe 3:8
6that You inquire after my iniquity
and search after my sin? # Job 14:16
7You know that I am not wicked,
and there is none who can deliver out of Your hand. # Dt 32:39
8“Your hands have shaped me and made me completely, # Ps 119:73
yet You destroy me.
9Remember, I pray,
that You have made me as the clay.
And would You return me to dust? # Ge 2:7; 3:19
10Have You not poured me out as milk
and curdled me like cheese?
11You have clothed me with skin and flesh,
and have knit me together with bones and sinews.
12You have granted me life and loyal love,
and Your care has preserved my spirit.
13“These things You have hidden in Your heart.
I know that this is with You. # Job 23:13
14If I have sinned, then You would watch me,
and You would not acquit me from my iniquity. # Job 7:21; Ps 130:3
15If I am wicked, woe unto me; # Isa 3:11
and if I am righteous, # Job 9:15 yet will I not lift up my head.
I am full of shame;
look at my affliction!
16For if my head is lifted up, You would hunt me like a lion, # Isa 38:13; La 3:10
and again You show Yourself marvelous to me.
17You renew Your witnesses against me # Job 16:8
and increase Your indignation upon me. # Ru 1:21
Your troops come against me.
18“Why then did You bring me forth out of the womb?
Oh, that I had died, 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.
20Are not my days few? # Job 14:1; Ps 39:13 Stop then,
and leave me alone that I may cheer up a little,
21before I go and do not return, # 2Sa 12:23
even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death, # Job 3:5
22a land of darkness, as darkness itself;
and of the shadow of death, without any order,
and where the light is as thick darkness.”
