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.
I will say to God, ‘(C)Do not condemn me;
Let me know why You contend with me.
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?
Do You have eyes of flesh?
Or do You (G)see as mankind sees?
Are Your days like the days of a mortal,
Or (H)Your years like a man’s year,
That (I)You should search for my guilt
And carefully seek my sin?
According to Your knowledge (J)I am indeed not guilty,
Yet there is (K)no one to save me from Your hand.

10 I am disgusted with my life.(A)
I will express my complaint
and speak in the bitterness of my soul.
I will say to God:
“Do not declare me guilty!
Let me know why You prosecute me.
Is it good for You to oppress,
to reject the work of Your hands,
and favor[a] the plans of the wicked?
Do You have eyes of flesh,
or do You see as a human sees?
Are Your days like those of a human,
or Your years like those of a man,(B)
that You look for my wrongdoing(C)
and search for my sin,
even though You know that I am not wicked
and that there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?
