Job 10

New Living Translation NLT

1 “I am disgusted with my life. Let me complain freely. My bitter soul must complain.

2 I will say to God, ‘Don’t simply condemn me— tell me the charge you are bringing against me.

3 What do you gain by oppressing me? Why do you reject me, the work of your own hands, while smiling on the schemes of the wicked?

4 Are your eyes like those of a human? Do you see things only as people see them?

5 Is your lifetime only as long as ours? Is your life so short

6 that you must quickly probe for my guilt and search for my sin?

7 Although you know I am not guilty, no one can rescue me from your hands.

8 “‘You formed me with your hands; you made me, yet now you completely destroy me.

9 Remember that you made me from dust— will you turn me back to dust so soon?

10 You guided my conception and formed me in the womb.

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

12 You gave me life and showed me your unfailing love. My life was preserved by your care.

13 “‘Yet your real motive— your true intent—

14 was to watch me, and if I sinned, you would not forgive my guilt.

15 If I am guilty, too bad for me; and even if I’m innocent, I can’t hold my head high, because I am filled with shame and misery.

16 And if I hold my head high, you hunt me like a lion and display your awesome power against me.

17 Again and again you witness against me. You pour out your growing anger on me and bring fresh armies against me.

18 “‘Why, then, did you deliver me from my mother’s womb? Why didn’t you let me die at birth?

19 It would be as though I had never existed, going directly from the womb to the grave.

20 I have only a few days left, so leave me alone, that I may have a moment of comfort

21 before I leave—never to return— for the land of darkness and utter gloom.

22 It is a land as dark as midnight, a land of gloom and confusion, where even the light is dark as midnight.’”

Common English Bible CEB

1 I loathe my life; I will let loose my complaint; I will speak out of my own bitterness.

2 I will say to God, Don't declare me guilty; tell me what you are accusing me of doing.

3 Does it seem good to you that you oppress me, that you reject the work of your hands and cause the purpose of sinners to shine?

4 Do you have physical eyes; do you see like a human?

5 Are your days like those of a human, your years like years of a human,

6 that you search for my wrongdoing and seek my sin?

7 You know that I'm not guilty, yet no one delivers me from your power.

8 Your hands fashioned and made me; yet you want to destroy me utterly.

9 Remember that you made me from clay, and you will return me to dust.

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

11 You clothed me with skin and flesh, wove me from bones and sinews.

12 Life and kindness you gave me, and you oversaw and preserved my breath.

13 These things you hid in your heart; I know this is the case with you.

14 If I sin and you observe me, you won't consider me innocent of wrongdoing.

15 If I were guilty, doom to me; I'm innocent, but can't lift my head, full of shame and facing my misery.

16 I could boast like a lion, and you would hunt me; you would do awesome things to me again.

17 You continue to send your witnesses against me and increase your anger toward me, a swift army against me.

18 Why did you let me emerge from the womb? I wish I had died without any eye seeing me.

19 Then I would be just as if I hadn't existed, taken from the belly to the grave.

20 Aren't my few days coming to an end? Look away from me so I can brighten up a little

21 before I go and don't return to a land of deepest darkness,

22 a land whose light is like gloom, utter darkness and confusion, such that light shines like gloom.
