Job 10
World English Bible
10 “My soul is weary of my life.
I will give free course to my complaint.
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me.
Show me why you contend with me.
3 Is it good to you that you should oppress,
that you should despise the work of your hands,
and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4 Do you have eyes of flesh?
Or do you see as man sees?
5 Are your days as the days of mortals,
or your years as man’s years,
6 that you inquire after my iniquity,
and search after my sin?
7 Although you know that I am not wicked,
there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
8 “‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether,
yet you destroy me.
9 Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay.
Will you bring me into dust again?
10 Haven’t you poured me out like milk,
and curdled me like cheese?
11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh,
and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 You have granted me life and loving kindness.
Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 Yet you hid these things in your heart.
I know that this is with you:
14 if I sin, then you mark me.
You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 If I am wicked, woe to me.
If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head,
being filled with disgrace,
and conscious of my affliction.
16 If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion.
Again you show yourself powerful to me.
17 You renew your witnesses against me,
and increase your indignation on me.
Changes and warfare are with me.
18 “‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb?
I wish I had given up the spirit, 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 Aren’t my days few?
Stop!
Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
21 before I go where I will not return from,
to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 the land dark as midnight,
of the shadow of death,
without any order,
where the light is as midnight.’”
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.
约伯记 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
10 “我厌恶自己的生命，
我要倾诉我的哀怨，
吐露心中的苦水。
2 我对上帝说，‘不要定我的罪。
请告诉我，你为何指控我？
3 难道你喜悦压迫、鄙视你造的人，
却青睐恶人的计谋？
4 难道你的眼是肉眼，
目光如凡人般短浅？
5 难道你的年日有限，
岁月如世人般短暂？
6 以致你探查我的过犯，
追究我的罪愆？
7 其实你知道我没有犯罪，
无人能从你手中解救我。
8 “‘你亲手造我塑我，
现在却要毁灭我。
9 别忘了你用泥土造我[a]，
难道要使我复归尘土？
10 你将我像奶一样倒出，
使我像奶酪一样凝固。[b]
11 你给我穿上皮肉，
用筋骨把我编就。
12 你赐我生命给我慈爱，
你的眷顾使我保全性命。
13 “‘但你心中藏着计划，
我知道你早有此意，
14 我若犯罪，你就鉴察，
不肯赦免我的罪。
15 我若有罪，便遭祸患；
即使清白，也不敢抬头，
因为我饱尝羞辱，吃尽苦头。
16 我若昂首挺立，
你会像狮子般追捕我，
再次施展大能攻击我。
17 你一再派证人指控我，
你对我越来越愤怒，
使军队轮流攻击我。
18 你为何让我出母腹？
我不如当时就死去，
无人会看见我——
19 好像我从未出生，
一出母腹就被送进坟墓。
20 我的年日不多，
求你放过我，
让我欢乐片刻。
21 我很快就一去不返，
进入幽冥黑暗之地。
22 那里一片漆黑，幽暗混乱；
那里的光昏暗不明。’”
