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.”

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 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
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)
