Job 6:8-13
New American Standard Bible
8 “Oh, that my request might come to pass,
And that God would grant my hope!
9 Oh, that God would (A)decide to crush me,
That He would let loose His hand and cut me off!
10 But it is still my comfort,
And I rejoice in unsparing pain,
That I (B)have not [a]denied the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should [b](C)endure?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones,
Or is my flesh bronze?
13 Is it that my (D)help is not within me,
And that a (E)good outcome is driven away from me?
Job 6:8-13
New Living Translation
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
that God would grant my desire.
9 I wish he would crush me.
I wish he would reach out his hand and kill me.
10 At least I can take comfort in this:
Despite the pain,
I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 But I don’t have the strength to endure.
I have nothing to live for.
12 Do I have the strength of a stone?
Is my body made of bronze?
13 No, I am utterly helpless,
without any chance of success.
