Job 10

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 "I hate my life. I will freely express my complaint. I will speak as bitterly as I feel.

2 I will say to God, 'Don't condemn me. Let me know why you are quarreling with me.

3 What do you gain by mistreating me, by rejecting the work of your hands while you favor the plans of the wicked?

4 Do you actually have human eyes? Do you see as a mortal sees?

5 Are your days like a mortal's days? Are your years like a human's years?

6 Is that why you look for guilt in me and search for sin in me?

7 You know I'm not guilty, but there is no one to rescue me from your hands.

8 "'Your hands formed me and made every part of me, then you turned to destroy me.

9 Please remember that you made me out of clay and that you will return me to the dust again.

10 Didn't you pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese?

11 Didn't you dress me in skin and flesh and weave me together with bones and tendons?

12 You gave me life and mercy. Your watchfulness has preserved my spirit.

13 But in your heart you hid these things. I know this is what you did.

14 "'If I sin, you watch me and will not free me from my guilt.

15 How terrible it will be for me if I'm guilty! Even if I'm righteous, I dare not lift up my head. I am filled with disgrace while I look on my misery.

16 Like a proud, ferocious lion you hunt me down. You keep working your miracles against me.

17 You keep finding new witnesses against me. You keep increasing your anger toward me. You keep bringing new armies against me.

18 "'Why did you take me out of the womb? I wish I had breathed my last breath before anyone had laid eyes on me.

19 Then it would be as if I had never existed, as if I had been carried from the womb to the tomb.

20 "'Isn't my life short enough? So stop [this], and leave me alone. Let me smile a little

21 before I go away to a land of darkness and gloom,

22 to a dismal land of long shadows and confusion where light is as bright as darkness. I'll never return.'"

New International Version NIV

1 “I loathe my very life; therefore I will give free rein to my complaint and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.

2 I say to God: Do not declare me guilty, but tell me what charges you have against me.

3 Does it please you to oppress me, to spurn the work of your hands, while you smile on the plans of the wicked?

4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees?

5 Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man,

6 that you must search out my faults and probe after my sin—

7 though you know that I am not guilty and that no one can rescue me from your hand?

8 “Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me?

9 Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?

10 Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese,

11 clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?

12 You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.

13 “But this is what you concealed in your heart, and I know that this was in your mind:

14 If I sinned, you would be watching me and would not let my offense go unpunished.

15 If I am guilty—woe to me! Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head, for I am full of shame and drowned in my affliction.

16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion and again display your awesome power against me.

17 You bring new witnesses against me and increase your anger toward me; your forces come against me wave upon wave.

18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb? I wish I had died before any eye saw me.

19 If only I had never come into being, or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!

20 Are not my few days almost over? Turn away from me so I can have a moment’s joy

21 before I go to the place of no return, to the land of gloom and utter darkness,

22 to the land of deepest night, of utter darkness and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”
