Job 10
Revised Geneva Translation
10 “My soul loathes my life. I will leave my complaint upon myself and will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 “I will say to God, “Do not condemn me. Show me why You contend with me.
3 “Do You think it good to oppress me and to cast off the labor of Your hands, and to favor the counsel of the wicked?
4 “Have You carnal eyes? Or do You see as man sees?
5 “Are Your days as man’s days or Your years as the time of man,
6 “that You inquire of my iniquity and search out my sin?
7 “You know that I cannot do wickedly. For no one can deliver me out of Your Hand.
8 “Your Hands have made me and fashioned me, wholly, all around. And will You destroy me?
9 “Please remember that You have made me as the clay. And will You bring me to dust again?
10 “Have You not poured me out as milk and turned me to curds like cheese?
11 “You have clothed me with skin and flesh and joined me together with bones and sinews.
12 “You have given me life and grace. And the visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 “Though You have hidden these things in Your Heart, I know that it is so with You.
14 “If I have sinned, then You will mark me and will not hold me guiltless of my iniquity.
15 “If I have done wickedly, woe to me. If I have done righteously, I will not lift up my head, being full of dishonor because I see my affliction.
16 “But let it increase. Hunt me as a lion. Return and show Yourself marvelous upon me.
17 “You renew Your plagues against me. And You increase Your wrath against me. Changes and armies are against me.
18 “Why, then, have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had perished, and that no eye had seen me,
19 “that I were as I had not been, brought from the womb to the grave!
20 “Are not my days few? Let him cease. Let me be, so that I may take a little comfort
21 “before I go and do not return, to the land of darkness and shadow of death,
22 “into a land dark as darkness itself, into the shadow of death, where is no order, but the light as darkness.”
Job 10
Nueva Versión Internacional
10 »¡Ya estoy harto de esta vida!
    Por eso doy rienda suelta a mi queja;
    desahogo la amargura de mi alma.
2 Le he dicho a Dios: No me condenes.
    Dime qué es lo que tienes contra mí.
3 ¿Te parece bien el oprimirme
    y despreciar la obra de tus manos
    mientras te muestras complaciente ante los planes del malvado?
4 ¿Son tus ojos los de un simple mortal?
    ¿Ves las cosas como las vemos nosotros?
5 ¿Son tus días como los nuestros,
    tus años como los de un mortal,
6 para que andes investigando mis faltas
    y averiguándolo todo acerca de mi pecado?
7 ¡Tú bien sabes que no soy culpable
    y que de tus manos no tengo escapatoria!
8 »Tú me hiciste con tus propias manos;
    tú me diste forma.
¿Vas ahora a cambiar de parecer
    y a ponerle fin a mi vida?
9 Recuerda que tú me hiciste del barro;
    ¿vas ahora a devolverme al polvo?
10 ¿No fuiste tú quien me derramó como leche,
    quien me hizo cuajar como queso?
11 Fuiste tú quien me vistió de carne y piel,
    quien me tejió con huesos y tendones.
12 Me diste vida, me favoreciste con tu amor
    y tu cuidado ha guardado mi espíritu.
13 »Pero una cosa guardaste en tu corazón,[a]
    y sé muy bien que la tuviste en mente:
14 Que si yo peco, tú me vigilas
    y no pasas por alto mi pecado.
15 Si soy culpable, ¡ay de mí!
    Si soy inocente, no puedo levantar mi cabeza.
¡Lleno estoy de vergüenza,
    y consciente de mi aflicción!
16 Si me levanto, me acechas como un león
    y despliegas contra mí tu gran poder.
17 Contra mí presentas nuevos testigos,
    contra mí acrecientas tu enojo.
    ¡Una tras otra, tus tropas me atacan!
18 »¿Por qué me hiciste salir del vientre?
    ¡Quisiera haber muerto sin que nadie me viera!
19 ¡Preferiría no haber existido
    y haber pasado del vientre a la tumba!
20 ¿Acaso mis contados días no llegan ya a su fin?
    ¡Déjame disfrutar de un momento de alegría
21 antes de mi partida sin regreso
    a la tierra de las sombras y de la densa oscuridad,
22 al país de la más profunda de las noches,
    al país de las sombras y del caos,
    donde aun la luz se asemeja a las tinieblas!».

Job 10
Names of God Bible
Job Says to God: I Hate My Life
10 “I hate my life.
    I will freely express my complaint.
    I will speak as bitterly as I feel.
2 I will say to Eloah,
    ‘Don’t condemn me.
        Let me know why you are quarreling with me.
3             What do you gain by mistreating me,
                by rejecting the work of your hands
                    while you favor the plans of the wicked?
4 Do you actually have human eyes?
    Do you see as a mortal sees?
5         Are your days like a mortal’s days?
        Are your years like a human’s years?
6             Is that why you look for guilt in me
                and search for sin in me?
7 You know I’m not guilty,
    but there is no one to rescue me from your hands.
8 “‘Your hands formed me and made every part of me,
    then you turned to destroy me.[a]
9 Please remember that you made me out of clay
    and that you will return me to the dust again.
10 Didn’t you pour me out like milk
    and curdle me like cheese?
11 Didn’t you dress me in skin and flesh
    and weave me together with bones and tendons?
12 You gave me life and mercy.
    Your watchfulness has preserved my spirit.
13 But in your heart you hid these things.
    I know this is what you did.
14 “‘If I sin, you watch me
    and will not free me from my guilt.
15 How terrible it will be for me if I’m guilty!
    Even if I’m righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
    I am filled with disgrace
        while I look on my misery.
16 Like a proud, ferocious lion you hunt me down.
    You keep working your miracles against me.[b]
17 You keep finding new witnesses against me.
    You keep increasing your anger toward me.
        You keep bringing new armies against me.
18 “‘Why did you take me out of the womb?
    I wish I had breathed my last breath
        before anyone had laid eyes on me.
19 Then it would be as if I had never existed,
    as if I had been carried from the womb to the tomb.
20 “‘Isn’t my life short enough?
    So stop this, and leave me alone.
        Let me smile a little
21 before I go away
    to a land of darkness and gloom,
22 to a dismal land of long shadows and confusion
    where light is as bright as darkness.
    I’ll never return.’”
Job 10
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?
10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
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.
