Job 10:2-12

2 Le he dicho a Dios: No me condenes.Dime qué es lo que tienes contra mí.

3 ¿Te parece bien el oprimirmey despreciar la obra de tus manosmientras te muestras complacienteante los planes del malvado?

4 ¿Son tus ojos los de un simple mortal?¿Ves las cosas como las vemos nosotros?

5 ¿Son tus días como los nuestros,tus años como los de un mortal,

6 para que andes investigando mis faltasy averiguándolo todo acerca de mi pecado?

7 ¡Tú bien sabes que no soy culpabley que de tus manos no tengo escapatoria!

8 »Tú me hiciste con tus propias manos;tú me diste forma.¿Vas ahora a cambiar de parecery a ponerle fin a mi vida?

9 Recuerda que tú me modelaste, como al barro;¿Vas ahora a devolverme al polvo?

10 ¿No fuiste tú quien me derramó como leche,quien me hizo cuajar como queso?

11 Fuiste tú quien me vistió de carne y piel,quien me tejió con huesos y tendones.

12 Me diste vida, me favoreciste con tu amor,y tus cuidados me han infundido aliento.

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.
