Job 10

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 My soul is tired of life; I will let my sad thoughts go free in words; my soul will make a bitter outcry.

2 I will say to God, Do not put me down as a sinner; make clear to me what you have against me.

3 What profit is it to you to be cruel, to give up the work of your hands, looking kindly on the design of evil-doers?

4 Have you eyes of flesh, or do you see as man sees?

5 Are your days as the days of man, or your years like his,

6 That you take note of my sin, searching after my wrongdoing,

7 Though you see that I am not an evil-doer; and there is no one who is able to take a man out of your hands?

8 Your hands made me, and I was formed by you, but then, changing your purpose, you gave me up to destruction.

9 O keep in mind that you made me out of earth; and will you send me back again to dust?

10 Was I not drained out like milk, becoming hard like cheese?

11 By you I was clothed with skin and flesh, and joined together with bones and muscles.

12 You have been kind to me, and your grace has been with me, and your care has kept my spirit safe.

13 But you kept these things in the secret of your heart; I am certain this was in your thoughts:

14 That, if I did wrong, you would take note of it, and would not make me clear from sin:

15 That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.

16 And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:

17 That you would send new witnesses against me, increasing your wrath against me, and letting loose new armies on me.

18 Why then did you make me come out of my mother's body? It would have been better for me to have taken my last breath, and for no eye to have seen me,

19 And for me to have been as if I had not been; to have been taken from my mother's body straight to my last resting-place.

20 Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,

21 Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,

22 A land of thick dark, without order, where the very light is dark.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 0 My nefesh is sick of my life; I will give free rein to my si’akh (complaint); I will speak in the mar (bitterness) of my nefesh.

2 I will say unto Eloah, Do not condemn me; show me what charge Thou dost contend with me.

3 Is it hatov (pleasing) unto Thee that Thou shouldest oppress, that Thou shouldest reject the work of Thine hands, and shine [favor] upon the etzah (scheme) of the resha’im?

4 Hast Thou eyes of basar? Or seest Thou as enosh seeth?

5 Are Thy yamim like the yamim of enosh? Are Thy years like the days of gever (man),

6 That Thou seekest after mine avon, and searchest after my chattat?

7 Though Thou has da’as that I am not a resha, and there is none that can deliver out of Thine yad,

8 Thine yadayim have formed me and altogether round about have fashioned me; yet Thou hast now swallowed me.

9 Remember, now, that Thou hast molded me like the chomer (clay), and wilt Thou turn me into aphar again?

10 Hast Thou not poured me out like cholov, and curdled me like gvinah (cheese)?

11 Thou hast clothed me with ohr and basar, and hast knitted me together with atzmot and sinews.

12 Thou hast granted me chayyim and chesed, and Thy visitation hath been shomer over my ruach.

13 And these things hast Thou hid in Thine lev; I have da’as that this was in Thy mind.

14 If I sin, then Thou art shomer over me, and Thou wilt not let my avon go unpunished.

15 If I am guilty, woe unto me; even if I be tzaddik (innocent), yet will I not lift up my head, being full of kalon (shame) and conscious of my oni (misery),

16 For if my head is held high, Thou stalkest me like a fierce lion, and ever Thou displayest Thy awesome power against me.

17 Thou bringest Thy fresh edim (witnesses) against me, and increasest Thine hot indignation toward me; in waves Thy tzava troop against me.

18 Why then hast Thou brought me forth out of the rechem (womb)? Oh that I had expired, and no eye had seen me!

19 I should have been as though I had never been; I should have been carried from the beten straight to the kever.

20 Are not my yamim few? Then cease, and let me alone, that I may take a little cheer

21 Before I go from where I shall not return, even to the Eretz Choshech V’Tzalmavet,

22 An eretz of darkness, like darkness itself; and of tzalmavet, no sedarim (order), where the light is like darkness.
