Job 10

LXX

NIV

1 Weary in my soul, I will pour my words with groans upon him: I will speak being straitened in the bitterness of my soul.
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 And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; and wherefore hast thou thus judged me?
2 I say to God: Do not declare me guilty, but tell me what charges you have against me.
3 Is it good before thee if I be unrighteous? for thou hast disowned the work of thy hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly.
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 Or dost thou see as a mortal sees? or wilt thou look as a man sees?
4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as a mortal sees?
5 Or is thy life human, or thy years of a man,
5 Are your days like those of a mortal or your years like those of a strong man,
6 that thou hast enquired into mine iniquity, and searched out my sins?
6 that you must search out my faults and probe after my sin—
7 For thou knowest that I have not committed iniquity: but who is he that can deliver out of thy hands?
7 though you know that I am not guilty and that no one can rescue me from your hand?
8 Thy hands have formed me and made me; afterwards thou didst change , and smite me.
8 “Your hands shaped me and made me. Will you now turn and destroy me?
9 Remember that thou hast made me clay, and thou dost turn me again to earth.
9 Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?
10 Hast thou not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
10 Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese,
11 And thou didst clothe me with skin and flesh, and frame me with bones and sinews.
11 clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews?
12 And thou didst bestow upon me life and mercy, and thy oversight has preserved my spirit.
12 You gave me life and showed me kindness, and in your providence watched over my spirit.
13 Having these things in thyself, I know that thou canst do all things; for nothing is impossible with thee.
13 “But this is what you concealed in your heart, and I know that this was in your mind:
14 And if I should sin, thou watchest me; and thou hast not cleared me from iniquity.
14 If I sinned, you would be watching me and would not let my offense go unpunished.
15 Or if I should be ungodly, woe is me: and if I should be righteous, I cannot lift myself up, for I am full of dishonour.
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 For I am hunted like a lion for slaughter; for again thou hast changed and art terribly destroying me;
16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion and again display your awesome power against me.
17 renewing against me my torture: and thou hast dealt with me in great anger, and thou hast brought trials upon 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 didst thou bring me out of the womb? and why did I not die, and no eye see me,
18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb? I wish I had died before any eye saw me.
19 and I become as if I had not been? for why was I not carried from the womb to the grave?
19 If only I had never come into being, or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!
20 Is not the time of my life short? suffer me to rest a little,
20 Are not my few days almost over? Turn away from me so I can have a moment’s joy
21 before I go whence I shall not return, to a land of darkness and gloominess;
21 before I go to the place of no return, to the land of gloom and utter darkness,
22 to a land of perpetual darkness, where there is no light, neither see the life of mortals.
22 to the land of deepest night, of utter darkness and disorder, where even the light is like darkness.”
