Jubilee2000 - Job - 10

10:1  My soul is cut off in my life; [therefore], 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; cause me to understand why thou dost contend with me.

10:3  [Is it] good unto thee that thou should oppress, that thou should reject the work of thine hands and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

10:4  Hast thou eyes of flesh? Dost thou see as man sees?

10:5  [Are] thy days as the days of man? [Are] thy years as man's days,

10:6  that thou dost enquire after my iniquity and search after my sin?

10:7  Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and [there is] no one that can deliver out of thy hand.

10:8  Thine hands have formed me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

10:9  Remember now that thou hast formed 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 hedged me with bones and sinews.

10:12  Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation has kept my spirit.

10:13  And these [things] thou hast hid in thine heart; I know that this [is] with thee.

10:14  If I sinned, wilt thou mark me and not cleanse me from my iniquity?

10:15  If I am wicked, woe unto me; and [if] I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, being full of dishonour and of seeing my affliction.

10:16  And thou dost increase. Thou dost hunt me as a fierce lion; turning and doing marvels in me.

10:17  Thou dost renew thy plagues against me and increase thine indignation upon me, bringing up armies against me.

10:18  Why then hast thou brought me forth out of 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 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, to not return, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

10:22  land of darkness, as darkness [itself], [and] of the shadow of death, without any order, and [where] the light [is] as darkness.:
