Job 10:1-9
Authorized (King James) Version
10 My soul is weary of my life;
I will leave my complaint upon myself;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me;
shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress,
that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands,
and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh?
or seest thou as man seeth?
5 Are thy days as the days of man?
are thy years as man’s days,
6 that thou enquirest after mine iniquity,
and searchest after my sin?
7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked;
and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
8 Thine hands have made me
and fashioned me together round about;
yet thou dost destroy me.
9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay;
and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
Job 10:16-22
Authorized (King James) Version
16 for it increaseth.
Thou huntest me as a fierce lion:
and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me,
and increasest thine indignation upon me;
changes and war are against me.
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb?
Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been;
I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few?
cease then, and let me alone,
that I may take comfort a little,
21 before I go whence I shall not return,
even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 a land of darkness, as darkness itself;
and of the shadow of death, without any order,
and where the light is as darkness.
