Job 10:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Should it lift up, you hunt me like a lion:
repeatedly you show your wondrous power against me,
17 You renew your attack[a] upon me
and multiply your harassment of me;
in waves your troops come against me.
18 Why then did you bring me forth from the womb?(A)
I should have died and no eye have seen me.
