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