Job 10

The Message Bible MSG

1 I can't stand my life - I hate it! -I'm putting it all out on the table, all the bitterness of my life - I'm holding back nothing."

2 Job prayed: "Here's what I want to say: Don't, God, bring in a verdict of guilty without letting me know the charges you're bringing.

3 How does this fit into what you once called 'good' - giving me a hard time, spurning me, a life you shaped by your very own hands, and then blessing the plots of the wicked?

4 You don't look at things the way we mortals do. You're not taken in by appearances, are you?

5 Unlike us, you're not working against a deadline. You have all eternity to work things out.

6 So what's this all about, anyway - this compulsion to dig up some dirt, to find some skeleton in my closet?

7 You know good and well I'm not guilty. You also know no one can help me.

8 "You made me like a handcrafted piece of pottery - and now are you going to smash me to pieces?

9 Don't you remember how beautifully you worked my clay? Will you reduce me now to a mud pie?

10 Oh, that marvel of conception as you stirred together semen and ovum -

11 What a miracle of skin and bone, muscle and brain!

12 You gave me life itself, and incredible love. You watched and guarded every breath I took.

13 "But you never told me about this part. I should have known that there was more to it -

14 That if I so much as missed a step, you'd notice and pounce, wouldn't let me get by with a thing.

15 If I'm truly guilty, I'm doomed. But if I'm innocent, it's no better - I'm still doomed. My belly is full of bitterness. I'm up to my ears in a swamp of affliction.

16 I try to make the best of it, try to brave it out, but you're too much for me, relentless, like a lion on the prowl.

17 You line up fresh witnesses against me. You compound your anger and pile on the grief and pain!

18 "So why did you have me born? I wish no one had ever laid eyes on me!

19 I wish I'd never lived - a stillborn, buried without ever having breathed.

20 Isn't it time to call it quits on my life? Can't you let up, and let me smile just once

21 Before I die and am buried, before I'm nailed into my coffin, sealed in the ground,

22 And banished for good to the land of the dead, blind in the final dark?"

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 taedet animam meam vitae meae dimittam adversum me eloquium meum loquar in amaritudine animae meae

2 dicam Deo noli me condemnare indica mihi cur me ita iudices

3 numquid bonum tibi videtur si calumnieris et opprimas me opus manuum tuarum et consilium impiorum adiuves

4 numquid oculi carnei tibi sunt aut sicut videt homo et tu videbis

5 numquid sicut dies hominis dies tui et anni tui sicut humana sunt tempora

6 ut quaeras iniquitatem meam et peccatum meum scruteris

7 et scias quia nihil impium fecerim cum sit nemo qui de manu tua possit eruere

8 manus tuae plasmaverunt me et fecerunt me totum in circuitu et sic repente praecipitas me

9 memento quaeso quod sicut lutum feceris me et in pulverem reduces me

10 nonne sicut lac mulsisti me et sicut caseum me coagulasti

11 pelle et carnibus vestisti me et ossibus et nervis conpegisti me

12 vitam et misericordiam tribuisti mihi et visitatio tua custodivit spiritum meum

13 licet haec celes in corde tuo tamen scio quia universorum memineris

14 si peccavi et ad horam pepercisti mihi cur ab iniquitate mea mundum me esse non pateris

15 et si impius fuero vae mihi est et si iustus non levabo caput saturatus adflictione et miseria

16 et propter superbiam quasi leaenam capies me reversusque mirabiliter me crucias

17 instauras testes tuos contra me et multiplicas iram tuam adversum me et poenae militant in me

18 quare de vulva eduxisti me qui utinam consumptus essem ne oculus me videret

19 fuissem quasi qui non essem de utero translatus ad tumulum

20 numquid non paucitas dierum meorum finietur brevi dimitte ergo me ut plangam paululum dolorem meum

21 antequam vadam et non revertar ad terram tenebrosam et opertam mortis caligine

22 terram miseriae et tenebrarum ubi umbra mortis et nullus ordo et sempiternus horror inhabitans
