Job 10:1-6

Job Despairs of God's Dealings

1 "1I loathe my own life; I will give full * vent to 2my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 "I will say to God, '3Do not condemn me; Let me know why * You contend with me.
3 'Is it right for You indeed to 4oppress, To reject 5the labor of Your hands, And to look favorably on 6the schemes of the wicked?
4 'Have You eyes of flesh? Or do You 7see as a man sees?
5 'Are Your days as the days of a mortal, Or 8Your years as man's years,
6 That 9You should seek for my guilt And search after my sin?
