Job 10:1-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Job: I Loathe My Life
10 “I loathe my life;
I will give free utterance to my complaint;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.(A)
2 I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me;
let me know why you contend against me.(B)
3 Does it seem good to you to oppress,
to despise the work of your hands
and favor the schemes of the wicked?(C)
4 Do you have eyes of flesh?
Do you see as humans see?(D)
5 Are your days like the days of mortals
or your years like human years,(E)
6 that you seek out my iniquity
and search for my sin,
7 although you know that I am not guilty,
and there is no one to deliver out of your hand?(F)

Job: I Loathe My Life
10 “I loathe my life;
I will give free utterance to my complaint;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say to God, Do not condemn me;
let me know why thou dost contend against me.
3 Does it seem good to thee to oppress,
to despise the work of thy hands
and favor the designs of the wicked?
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh?
Dost thou see as man sees?
5 Are thy days as the days of man,
or thy years as man’s years,
6 that thou dost seek out my iniquity
and search for my sin,
7 although thou knowest that I am not guilty,
and there is none to deliver out of thy hand?
