Job 10

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 "I am just worn out. "By my life [I swear], I will never abandon my complaint; I will speak out in my soul's bitterness.

2 I will say to God, 'Don't condemn me! Tell me why you are contending with me.

3 Do you gain some advantage from oppressing, from spurning what your own hands made, from shining on the schemes of the wicked?

4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as humans see?

5 Are your days like the days of mortals? Are your years like human years,

6 that you have to seek my guilt and search out my sin?

7 You know that I won't be condemned, yet no one can rescue me from your power.

8 Your own hands shaped me, they made me; so why do you turn and destroy me?

9 Please remember that you made me, like clay; will you return me to dust?

10 Didn't you pour me out like milk, then let me thicken like cheese?

11 You clothed me with skin and flesh you knit me together with bones and sinews.

12 You granted me life and grace; your careful attention preserved my spirit.

13 "'Yet you hid these things in your heart; I know what your secret purpose was -

14 to watch until I would sin and then not absolve me of my guilt.

15 If I am wicked, woe to me! -but if righteous, I still don't dare raise my head, because I am so filled with shame, so soaked in my misery.

16 You rise up to hunt me like a lion, and you keep treating me in such peculiar ways.

17 You keep producing fresh witnesses against me, your anger against me keeps growing, your troops assail me, wave after wave.

18 "'Why did you bring me out of the womb? I wish I had died there where no eye could see me.

19 I would have been as if I had never existed, I would have been carried from womb to grave.

20 Aren't my days few? So stop! Leave me alone, so I can cheer up a little

21 before I go to the place of no return, to the land of darkness and death-dark gloom,

22 a land of gloom like darkness itself, of dense darkness and utter disorder, where even the light is dark.'"

King James Version KJV

1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

5 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,

6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?

7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.

8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.

14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.

18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
