Job 10

Job 10
Louis Segond
10 Mon âme est dégoûtée de la vie! Je donnerai cours à ma plainte, Je parlerai dans l'amertume de mon âme.
2 Je dis à Dieu: Ne me condamne pas! Fais-moi savoir pourquoi tu me prends à partie!
3 Te paraît-il bien de maltraiter, De repousser l'ouvrage de tes mains, Et de faire briller ta faveur sur le conseil des méchants?
4 As-tu des yeux de chair, Vois-tu comme voit un homme?
5 Tes jours sont-ils comme les jours de l'homme, Et tes années comme ses années,
6 Pour que tu recherches mon iniquité, Pour que tu t'enquières de mon péché,
7 Sachant bien que je ne suis pas coupable, Et que nul ne peut me délivrer de ta main?
8 Tes mains m'ont formé, elles m'ont créé, Elles m'ont fait tout entier... Et tu me détruirais!
9 Souviens-toi que tu m'as façonné comme de l'argile; Voudrais-tu de nouveau me réduire en poussière?
10 Ne m'as-tu pas coulé comme du lait? Ne m'as-tu pas caillé comme du fromage?
11 Tu m'as revêtu de peau et de chair, Tu m'as tissé d'os et de nerfs;
12 Tu m'as accordé ta grâce avec la vie, Tu m'as conservé par tes soins et sous ta garde.
13 Voici néanmoins ce que tu cachais dans ton coeur, Voici, je le sais, ce que tu as résolu en toi-même.
14 Si je pèche, tu m'observes, Tu ne pardonnes pas mon iniquité.
15 Suis-je coupable, malheur à moi! Suis-je innocent, je n'ose lever la tête, Rassasié de honte et absorbé dans ma misère.
16 Et si j'ose la lever, tu me poursuis comme un lion, Tu me frappes encore par des prodiges.
17 Tu m'opposes de nouveaux témoins, Tu multiplies tes fureurs contre moi, Tu m'assailles d'une succession de calamités.
18 Pourquoi m'as-tu fait sortir du sein de ma mère? Je serais mort, et aucun oeil ne m'aurait vu;
19 Je serais comme si je n'eusse pas existé, Et j'aurais passé du ventre de ma mère au sépulcre.
20 Mes jours ne sont-ils pas en petit nombre? Qu'il me laisse, Qu'il se retire de moi, et que je respire un peu,
21 Avant que je m'en aille, pour ne plus revenir, Dans le pays des ténèbres et de l'ombre de la mort,
22 Pays d'une obscurité profonde, Où règnent l'ombre de la mort et la confusion, Et où la lumière est semblable aux ténèbres.
Job 10

Job 10
Christian Standard Bible
10 I am disgusted with my life.(A)
I will give vent to my complaint
and speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say to God,
“Do not declare me guilty!
Let me know why you prosecute me.
3 Is it good for you to oppress,
to reject the work of your hands,(B)
and favor[a] the plans of the wicked?(C)
4 Do you have eyes of flesh,
or do you see as a human sees?
5 Are your days like those of a human,
or your years like those of a man,(D)
6 that you look for my iniquity(E)
and search for my sin,
7 even though you know that I am not wicked
and that there is no one who can rescue from your power?(F)
8 “Your hands shaped me and formed me.(G)
Will you now turn and destroy me?
9 Please remember that you formed me like clay.
Will you now return me to dust?(H)
10 Did you not pour me out like milk
and curdle me like cheese?
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh,
and wove me together with bones and tendons.(I)
12 You gave me life and faithful love,
and your care has guarded my life.
13 “Yet you concealed these thoughts in your heart;
I know that this was your hidden plan:[b]
14 if I sin, you would notice,[c]
and would not acquit me of my iniquity.(J)
15 If I am wicked, woe to me!
And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.
I am filled with shame(K)
and have drunk deeply of[d] my affliction.(L)
16 If I am proud,[e] you hunt me like a lion
and again display your miraculous power against me.(M)
17 You produce new witnesses[f] against me
and multiply your anger toward me.
Hardships assault me, wave after wave.[g]
18 “Why did you bring me out of the womb?(N)
I should have died and never been seen.
19 I wish[h] I had never existed
but had been carried from the womb to the grave.(O)
20 Are my days not few? Stop it![i]
Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little
21 before I go to a land of darkness and gloom,(P)
never to return.
22 It is a land of blackness like the deepest darkness,
gloomy and chaotic,
where even the light is like[j] the darkness.”

and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.(B)
2 I say to God:(C) Do not declare me guilty,

to spurn the work of your hands,(G)

8 “Your hands shaped(N) me and made me.
Will you now turn and destroy me?(O)
9 Remember that you molded me like clay.(P)
Will you now turn me to dust again?(Q)
10 Did you not pour me out like milk
and curdle me like cheese,
11 clothe me with skin and flesh
and knit me together(R) with bones and sinews?
12 You gave me life(S) and showed me kindness,(T)
and in your providence(U) watched over(V) my spirit.
13 “But this is what you concealed in your heart,

Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head,(AB)
for I am full of shame
and drowned in[a] my affliction.(AC)
16 If I hold my head high, you stalk me like a lion(AD)
and again display your awesome power against me.(AE)
17 You bring new witnesses against me(AF)
and increase your anger toward me;(AG)

18 “Why then did you bring me out of the womb?(AI)
I wish I had died before any eye saw me.(AJ)
19 If only I had never come into being,
or had been carried straight from the womb to the grave!(AK)
20 Are not my few days(AL) almost over?(AM)
Turn away from me(AN) so I can have a moment’s joy(AO)
21 before I go to the place of no return,(AP)
to the land of gloom and utter darkness,(AQ)
22 to the land of deepest night,
of utter darkness(AR) and disorder,
where even the light is like darkness.”(AS)
