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 Despairs of God’s Dealings
10 “[a](A)I loathe my own life;
I will give full vent to (B)my complaint;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 “I will say to God, ‘(C)Do not condemn me;
Let me know why You contend with me.
3 ‘Is it [b]right for You indeed to (D)oppress,
To reject (E)the labor of Your hands,
And [c]to look favorably on (F)the schemes of the wicked?
4 ‘Have You eyes of flesh?
Or do You (G)see as a man sees?
5 ‘Are Your days as the days of a mortal,
Or (H)Your years as man’s years,
6 That (I)You should seek for my guilt
And search after my sin?
7 ‘According to Your knowledge (J)I am indeed not guilty,
Yet there is (K)no deliverance from Your hand.
8 ‘(L)Your hands fashioned and made me [d]altogether,
(M)And would You destroy me?
9 ‘Remember now, that You have made me as (N)clay;
And would You (O)turn me into dust again?
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 with bones and sinews?
12 ‘You have (P)granted me life and lovingkindness;
And Your care has preserved my spirit.
13 ‘Yet (Q)these things You have concealed in Your heart;
I know that this is within You:
14 If I sin, then You would (R)take note of me,
And (S)would not acquit me of my guilt.
15 ‘If (T)I am wicked, woe to me!
And (U)if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
I am sated with disgrace and [e]conscious of my misery.
16 ‘Should my head be lifted up, (V)You would hunt me like a lion;
And again You would show Your (W)power against me.
17 ‘You renew (X)Your witnesses against me
And increase Your anger toward me;
[f](Y)Hardship after hardship is with me.
18 ‘(Z)Why then have You brought me out of the womb?
Would that I had died and no eye had seen me!
19 ‘I should have been as though I had not been,
Carried from womb to tomb.’
20 “Would He not let (AA)my few days alone?
[g](AB)Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer
21 Before I go—(AC)and I shall not return—
(AD)To the land of darkness and (AE)deep shadow,
22 The land of utter gloom as darkness itself,
Of deep shadow without order,
And which shines as the darkness.”
Job 10
New International Version
Job 10
New International Version
10 “I loathe my very life;(A)
therefore I will give free rein to my complaint
and speak out in the bitterness of my soul.(B)
2 I say to God:(C) Do not declare me guilty,
but tell me what charges(D) you have against me.(E)
3 Does it please you to oppress me,(F)
to spurn the work of your hands,(G)
while you smile on the plans of the wicked?(H)
4 Do you have eyes of flesh?
Do you see as a mortal sees?(I)
5 Are your days like those of a mortal
or your years like those of a strong man,(J)
6 that you must search out my faults
and probe after my sin(K)—
7 though you know that I am not guilty(L)
and that no one can rescue me from your hand?(M)
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,
and I know that this was in your mind:(W)
14 If I sinned, you would be watching me(X)
and would not let my offense go unpunished.(Y)
15 If I am guilty(Z)—woe to me!(AA)
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)
your forces come against me wave upon wave.(AH)
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)
