Job 10

1 I loathe my life; I will let loose my complaint; I will speak out of my own bitterness.

1 "My soul loathes my life; I will give free course 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; Show me why You contend with 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 that You should oppress, That You should despise the work of Your hands, And smile on the counsel of the wicked?

4 Do you have physical eyes; do you see like a human?

4 Do You have eyes of flesh? Or 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 like the days of a mortal man? Are Your years like the days of a mighty man,

6 that you search for my wrongdoing and seek my sin?

6 That You should seek for my iniquity And search out 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 wicked, And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?

8 Your hands fashioned and made me; yet you want to destroy me utterly.

8 'Your hands have made me and fashioned me, An intricate unity; Yet You would destroy me.

9 Remember that you made me from clay, and you will return me to dust.

9 Remember, I pray, that You have made me like clay. And will You turn me into dust again?

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 Clothe 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 favor, And Your care has preserved my spirit.

13 These things you hid in your heart; I know this is the case with you.

13 'And these things You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You:

14 If I sin and you observe me, you won't consider me innocent of wrongdoing.

14 If I sin, then You mark me, And will 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 wicked, woe to me; Even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head. I am full of disgrace; See my misery!

16 I could boast like a lion, and you would hunt me; you would do awesome things to me again.

16 If my head is exalted, You hunt me like a fierce lion, And again You show Yourself awesome 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 indignation toward me; Changes and war are ever with me.

18 Why did you let me emerge from the womb? I wish I had died without any eye seeing me.

18 'Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!

19 Then I would be just as if I hadn't existed, taken from the belly to the grave.

19 I would have been as though I had not been. I would have 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? Cease! Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort,

21 before I go and don't return to a land of deepest darkness,

21 Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, To the land of darkness and the shadow of death,

22 a land whose light is like gloom, utter darkness and confusion, such that light shines like gloom.

22 A land as dark as darkness itself, As the shadow of death, without any order, Where even the light is like darkness.' "
