Job 10:1-7
New American Standard Bible

Job Despairs of God’s Dealings

10 “[a](A)I am disgusted with my own life;
I will express (B)my complaint freely;
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 work of Your hands,
And [c]to look favorably on (F)the plan of the wicked?
4 Do You have eyes of flesh?
Or do You (G)see as mankind sees?
5 Are Your days like the days of a mortal,
Or (H)Your years like a man’s year,
6 That (I)You should search for my guilt
And carefully seek my sin?
7 According to Your knowledge (J)I am indeed not guilty,
Yet there is (K)no one to save me from Your hand.

English Standard Version

Job Continues: A Plea to God

10 “I (A)loathe my life;
I will give free utterance to my (B)complaint;
    I will speak in (C)the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say to God, Do not (D)condemn me;
    let me know why you (E)contend against me.
3 (F)Does it seem good to you to oppress,
    to despise (G)the work of your hands
    (H)and favor the designs of the wicked?
4 Have you (I)eyes of flesh?
    (J)Do you see as man sees?
5 Are your days as the days of man,
    or your (K)years as a man's years,
6 that you (L)seek out my iniquity
    and search for my sin,
7 although you (M)know that I am not guilty,
    and there is (N)none to deliver out of your hand?
