Job 10:2-12

2 Le diré a Dios: “No me condenes de plano,
dime qué cargos tienes en mi contra.

3 ¿Qué ganas con oprimirme?
¿Por qué me rechazas, siendo yo obra de tus manos,
mientras miras con favor los planes de los malvados?

4 ¿Son tus ojos como los de un ser humano?
¿Ves las cosas de la misma manera que la gente?

5 ¿Dura tu vida lo mismo que la nuestra?
¿Es tu vida tan corta

6 que tienes que apurarte a descubrir mi culpa
y a buscar mi pecado?

7 Aunque sabes que no soy culpable,
no hay quien me rescate de tus manos.

8 »”Tú me formaste con tus manos; tú me hiciste,
sin embargo, ahora me destruyes por completo.

9 Recuerda que me hiciste del polvo,
¿me harás volver tan pronto al polvo?

10 Tú guiaste mi concepción
y me formaste en el vientre.

11 Me vestiste con piel y carne
y tejiste mis huesos junto con mis tendones.

12 Me diste vida y me mostraste tu amor inagotable,
y con tu cuidado preservaste mi vida.

Job 10:2-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 10

Job here declares the greatness of his afflictions, which made him weary of his life, and could not help complaining; entreats the Lord not to condemn him but show him the reason of his thus dealing with him, Job 10:1,2; and expostulates with him about it, and suggests as if it was severe, and not easily reconciled to his perfections, when he knew he was not a wicked man, Job 10:3-7; he puts him in mind of his formation and preservation of him, and after all destroyed him, Job 10:8-12; and represents his case as very distressed; whether he was wicked or righteous it mattered not, his afflictions were increasing upon him, Job 10:13-17; and all this he observes, in order to justify his eager desire after death, which he renews, Job 10:18,19; and entreats, since his days he had to live were but few, that God would give him some respite before he went into another state, which he describes, Job 10:20-22.
