Job 10:1-11

1 Hastiado estoy de mi vida: daré rienda suelta a mi queja, hablaré en la amargura de mi alma.

2 Le diré a Dios: "No me condenes, hazme saber por qué contiendes conmigo.

3 "¿Es justo para ti oprimir, rechazar la obra de tus manos, y mirar con favor los designios de los malos?

4 "¿Acaso tienes tú ojos de carne, o ves como el hombre ve?

5 "¿Son tus días como los días de un mortal, o tus años como los años del hombre,

6 para que andes averiguando mi culpa, y buscando mi pecado?

7 "Según tu conocimiento ciertamente no soy culpable; sin embargo no hay salvación de tu mano.

8 "Tus manos me formaron y me hicieron, ¿y me destruirás?

9 "Acuérdate ahora que me has modelado como a barro, ¿y me harás volver al polvo?

10 "¿No me derramaste como leche, y como queso me cuajaste?

11 "¿No me vestiste de piel y de carne, y me entretejiste con huesos y tendones?

Job 10:1-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 10

Job here declares the greatness of his afflictions, which made him weary of his life, and could not help complaining; entreats the Lord not to condemn him but show him the reason of his thus dealing with him, Job 10:1,2; and expostulates with him about it, and suggests as if it was severe, and not easily reconciled to his perfections, when he knew he was not a wicked man, Job 10:3-7; he puts him in mind of his formation and preservation of him, and after all destroyed him, Job 10:8-12; and represents his case as very distressed; whether he was wicked or righteous it mattered not, his afflictions were increasing upon him, Job 10:13-17; and all this he observes, in order to justify his eager desire after death, which he renews, Job 10:18,19; and entreats, since his days he had to live were but few, that God would give him some respite before he went into another state, which he describes, Job 10:20-22.
