Job 10

1My soulH5315 is wearyH5354 of my lifeH2416; I will leaveH5800 my complaintH7879 upon myself; I will speakH1696 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315.1 2I will sayH559 to GodH433, Do not condemnH7561 me; showH3045 me why thou contendestH7378 with me. 3Is it goodH2895 to thee that thou shouldest oppressH6231, that thou shouldest despiseH3988 the workH3018 of thy handsH3709, and shineH3313 upon the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563?2 4Hast thou eyesH5869 of fleshH1320? or seestH7200 thou as manH582 seethH7200? 5Are thy daysH3117 as the daysH3117 of manH582? are thy yearsH8141 as man’sH1397 daysH3117, 6That thou enquirestH1245 after my iniquityH5771, and searchestH1875 after my sinH2403? 7Thou knowestH1847 that I am not wickedH7561; and there is none that can deliverH5337 out of thy handH3027.3

8Thy handsH3027 have madeH6087 me and fashionedH6213 me in all my partsH3162H5439; yet thou dost destroyH1104 me.4 9RememberH2142, I beseech thee, that thou hast madeH6213 me as the clayH2563; and wilt thou bringH7725 me into dustH6083 againH7725? 10Hast thou not poured me outH5413 as milkH2461, and curdledH7087 me like cheeseH1385? 11Thou hast clothedH3847 me with skinH5785 and fleshH1320, and hast fencedH7753 me with bonesH6106 and sinewsH1517.5 12Thou hast grantedH6213 me lifeH2416 and favourH2617, and thy careH6486 hath preservedH8104 my spiritH7307. 13And these things hast thou hidH6845 in thy heartH3824: I knowH3045 that this is with thee.

14If I sinH2398, then thou markestH8104 me, and thou wilt not acquitH5352 me from my iniquityH5771. 15If I be wickedH7561, woeH480 to me; and if I be righteousH6663, yet will I not lift upH5375 my headH7218. I am fullH7649 of confusionH7036; therefore seeH7202H7200 thou my afflictionH6040; 16For it increasethH1342. Thou huntestH6679 me as a fierce lionH7826: and againH7725 thou showest thyself marvellousH6381 upon me. 17Thou renewestH2318 thy witnessesH5707 against me, and increasestH7235 thy indignationH3708 upon meH5978; changesH2487 and warH6635 are against me.6 18Why then hast thou brought me forthH3318 from the wombH7358? O that I had given up the ghostH1478, and no eyeH5869 had seenH7200 me! 19I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carriedH2986 from the wombH990 to the graveH6913. 20Are not my daysH3117 fewH4592? ceaseH2308 then, and let me aloneH7896, that I may take comfortH1082 a littleH4592, 21Before I goH3212 to the place from which I shall not returnH7725, even to the landH776 of darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757; 22A landH776 of darknessH5890, as darknessH652 itself; and of the shadow of deathH6757, without any orderH5468, and where the lightH3313 is as darknessH652.
