Job 10

CEB

ESV

1 I loathe my life; I will let loose my complaint; I will speak out of my own bitterness.
1 “I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say to God, Don't declare me guilty; tell me what you are accusing me of doing.
2 I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me.
3 Does it seem good to you that you oppress me, that you reject the work of your hands and cause the purpose of sinners to shine?
3 Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the designs of the wicked?
4 Do you have physical eyes; do you see like a human?
4 Have you eyes of flesh? Do you see as man sees?
5 Are your days like those of a human, your years like years of a human,
5 Are your days as the days of man, or your years as a man’s years,
6 that you search for my wrongdoing and seek my sin?
6 that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,
7 You know that I'm not guilty, yet no one delivers me from your power.
7 although you know that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of your hand?
8 Your hands fashioned and made me; yet you want to destroy me utterly.
8 Your hands fashioned and made me, and now you have destroyed me altogether.
9 Remember that you made me from clay, and you will return me to dust.
9 Remember that you have made me like clay; and will you return me to the dust?
10 Didn't you pour me out like milk, curdle me like cheese?
10 Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh, wove me from bones and sinews.
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 Life and kindness you gave me, and you oversaw and preserved my breath.
12 You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit.
13 These things you hid in your heart; I know this is the case with you.
13 Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this was your purpose.
14 If I sin and you observe me, you won't consider me innocent of wrongdoing.
14 If I sin, you watch me and do not acquit me of my iniquity.
15 If I were guilty, doom to me; I'm innocent, but can't lift my head, full of shame and facing my misery.
15 If I am guilty, woe to me! If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look on my affliction.
16 I could boast like a lion, and you would hunt me; you would do awesome things to me again.
16 And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me like a lion and again work wonders against me.
17 You continue to send your witnesses against me and increase your anger toward me, a swift army against me.
17 You renew your witnesses against me and increase your vexation toward me; you bring fresh troops against me.
18 Why did you let me emerge from the womb? I wish I had died without any eye seeing me.
18 “Why did you bring me out from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me
19 Then I would be just as if I hadn't existed, taken from the belly to the grave.
19 and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Aren't my few days coming to an end? Look away from me so I can brighten up a little
20 Are not my days few? Then cease, and leave me alone, that I may find a little cheer
21 before I go and don't return to a land of deepest darkness,
21 before I go—and I shall not return—to the land of darkness and deep shadow,
22 a land whose light is like gloom, utter darkness and confusion, such that light shines like gloom.
22 the land of gloom like thick darkness, like deep shadow without any order, where light is as thick darkness. ”
