Job 6:8-13

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ “How I wish that my prayer would be answered—
that God would give me what I’m hoping for,
⁹ that God would ⌞finally⌟ be willing to crush me,
that he would reach out to cut me off.
¹⁰ Then I would still have comfort.
I would be happy despite my endless pain,
because I have not rejected the words of the Holy One.
¹¹ What strength do I have ⌞left⌟ that I can go on hoping?
What goal do I have that I would want to prolong my life?
¹² Do I have the strength of rocks?
Does my body have the strength of bronze?
¹³ Am I not completely helpless?
Haven’t my skills been taken away from me?
