Job 6:8-13

English Standard Version

⁸ “Oh that I might have my request,
    and that God would fulfill my hope,
⁹ that it would ^(A)please God to crush me,
    that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
¹⁰ This would be my comfort;
    I would even exult^[a] in pain ^(B)unsparing,
    for I have not denied the words of ^(C)the Holy One.
¹¹ What is my strength, that I should wait?
    And what is my end, that I should be patient?
¹² Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
¹³ Have I any help in me,
    when resource is driven from me?
