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?

Job 6:8-13
King James Version
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
