Job 10

Good News Translation GNT

1 I am tired of living. Listen to my bitter complaint.

2 Don't condemn me, God. Tell me! What is the charge against me?

3 Is it right for you to be so cruel? To despise what you yourself have made? And then to smile on the schemes of wicked people?

4 Do you see things as we do?

5 Is your life as short as ours?

6 Then why do you track down all my sins and hunt down every fault I have?

7 You know that I am not guilty, that no one can save me from you.

8 Your hands formed and shaped me, and now those same hands destroy me.

9 Remember that you made me from clay; are you going to crush me back to dust?

10 You gave my father strength to beget me; you made me grow in my mother's womb.

11 You formed my body with bones and sinews and covered the bones with muscles and skin.

12 You have given me life and constant love, and your care has kept me alive.

13 But now I know that all that time you were secretly planning to harm me.

14 You were watching to see if I would sin, so that you could refuse to forgive me.

15 As soon as I sin, I'm in trouble with you, but when I do right, I get no credit. I am miserable and covered with shame.

16 If I have any success at all, you hunt me down like a lion; to hurt me you even work miracles.

17 You always have some witness against me; your anger toward me grows and grows; you always plan some new attack.

18 Why, God, did you let me be born? I should have died before anyone saw me.

19 To go from the womb straight to the grave would have been as good as never existing.

20 Isn't my life almost over? Leave me alone! Let me enjoy the time I have left.

21 I am going soon and will never come back - going to a land that is dark and gloomy,

22 a land of darkness, shadows, and confusion, where the light itself is darkness.

1 "My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2 I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me, Show me why you contend with me.

3 Is it 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 eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?

5 Are your days as the days of mortals, Or your years as man's years,

6 That you inquire after my iniquity, And search after my sin?

7 Although you know that I am not wicked, There is no one who can deliver out of your hand.

8 'Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether; Yet you destroy me.

9 Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?

10 Haven't you poured me out like milk, And curdled me like cheese?

11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews.

12 You have granted me life and lovingkindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.

13 Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:

14 If I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.

15 If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head, Being filled with disgrace, And conscious of my affliction.

16 If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.

17 You renew your witnesses against me, And increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.

18 "'Why, then, have you brought me forth out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, 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 Aren't my days few? Cease then, Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,

21 Before I go where I shall not return from, To the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

22 The land dark as midnight, Of the shadow of death, without any order, Where the light is as midnight.'"
