Job 6:8-13
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Oh that I might have my [a]desire, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 That is, that God would destroy me: that he would let his hand go, and cut me off.
10 Then should I yet have comfort, (though I burn with sorrow, let him not spare) [b]because I have not denied the words of the Holy one.
11 What power have I that I should endure? or what is mine [c]end, if I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13 Is it not so, that there is in me no [d]help? and that [e]strength is taken from me?
