Job 10

New Revised Standard NRS

1 "I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2 I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me.

3 Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the schemes of the wicked?

4 Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see as humans see?

5 Are your days like the days of mortals, or your years like human years,

6 that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,

7 although you know that I am not guilty, and there is no one to deliver out of your hand?

8 Your hands fashioned and made me; and now you turn and destroy me.

9 Remember that you fashioned me like clay; and will you turn me to dust again?

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

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

12 You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit.

13 Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this was your purpose.

14 If I sin, you watch me, and do not acquit me of my iniquity.

15 If I am wicked, woe to me! If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look upon my affliction.

16 Bold as a lion you hunt me; you repeat your exploits against me.

17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your vexation toward me; you bring fresh troops against me.

18 "Why did you bring me forth from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me,

19 and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.

20 Are not the days of my life few? Let me alone, that I may find a little comfort

21 before I go, never to return, to the land of gloom and deep darkness,

22 the land of gloom and chaos, where light is like darkness."

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.
