Job 10:1-7
Legacy Standard Bible
Job Cries Out to God
10 “(A)My soul is loathed by my life;
I will abandon all restraint in myself to (B)my complaint;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say to God, ‘(C)Do not account me as wicked;
Let me know why You contend with me.
3 Is it good to You that You (D)oppress,
That You reject (E)the labor of Your hands,
And [a]cause (F)the counsel of the wicked to shine forth?
4 Have You eyes of flesh?
Or do You (G)see as a mortal man sees?
5 Are Your days as the days of a mortal man,
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 wicked,
Yet there is (K)no [b]deliverer from Your hand.
Job 10:1-7
International Standard Version
Job Asks God to Acquit Him
10 “I am disgusted with living,
so I’m going to talk about my complaint freely.
I’ll speak out from the bitterness of my soul.
2 I’ll say to God,
‘Don’t condemn me!
Let me know why you are fighting me.
3 Does it delight you to oppress
or despise what you have made,
while you smile at the plans of the wicked?[a]
4 Do you have eyes made of flesh?
Can you look at things as humans do?
5 Can you live only as long as a human being?
Or live the years[b] of a mortal man?
6 “‘For you seek out my iniquity
and search for my sin.
7 Although you know that I’m not guilty,
there’s no one to deliver me from you![c]
