AFV2020 - Job - 10

10:1  "My soul is weary of my life; I will give full vent to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

10:2  I will say to God, 'Do not condemn me; make me know why You contend with me.

10:3  Is it good to You that You should oppress, that You should despise the work of Your hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

10:4  Have You eyes of flesh? Or do You see as a man sees?

10:5  Are Your days like the days of man? Are Your years like man's days,

10:6  That You seek out my iniquity, and search for my sin?

10:7  Although You know that I am not wicked, yet there is none who can deliver out of Your hand.

10:8  Your hands have made me and shaped me, together all around; yet You destroy me.

10:9  Remember, I beseech You, that You have formed me as the clay; and will You bring me into the dust again?

10:10  Have You not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?

10:11  You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews.

10:12  You have granted me life and favor, and Your providence has preserved my spirit.

10:13  And these things have You hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You.

10:14  If I sin, then You mark me, and You will not acquit me from my iniquity.

10:15  If I am wicked, woe to me; and if I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, being filled with confusion—therefore look upon my affliction.

10:16  For if my head be lifted up, You will hunt me as a fierce lion; and again You will show Yourself awesome against me.

10:17  You renew Your witnesses against me, and increase Your anger upon me; changes and warfare are against me.

10:18  Why then have You brought me from the womb? Oh, that I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me!

10:19  I should have been as though I had not been; I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.

10:20  Are not my days few? Withdraw then, and let me alone, that I may take a little comfort,

10:21  Before I go, and I do not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

10:22  A land of obscurity, as the darkness itself and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.' ”
