Job 6:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁹ that it would please God to crush me,
    that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
¹⁰ This would be my consolation;
    I would even exult^[a] in unrelenting pain;
    for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
¹¹ What is my strength, that I should wait?
    And what is my end, that I should be patient?
