Job 10
|
|
| 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; shew me wherefore thou contendest
with me. |
|
| 10:3
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? |
Job asks God an excellent question: "Is
it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the
work of thine hands?" God doesn't answer.
|
| 10:4
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth? |
|
| 10:5
Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days, |
|
| 10:6
That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin? |
|
| 10:7
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out
of thine hand. |
|
| 10:8
Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou
dost destroy me. |
|
| 10:9
Remember, I beseech 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 curdled me like cheese? |
|
| 10:11
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones
and sinews. |
|
| 10:12
Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my
spirit. |
|
| 10:13
And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with
thee. |
|
| 10:14
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine
iniquity. |
|
| 10:15
If 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; |
|
| 10:16
For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou
shewest thyself marvellous upon me. |
|
| 10:17
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation
upon me; changes and war are against me. |
|
| 10:18
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! |
|
| 10:19
I should have been as though I had not been; I should 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 whence 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.
