Job 6:8-13
Christian Standard Bible
8 If only my request would be granted
and God would provide what I hope for:
9 that he would decide to crush me,
to unleash his power and cut me off!
10 It would still bring me comfort,
and I would leap for joy in unrelenting pain
that I have not denied[a] the words of the Holy One.(A)
11 What strength do I have, that I should continue to hope?
What is my future, that I should be patient?
12 Is my strength that of stone,
or my flesh made of bronze?
13 Since I cannot help myself,
the hope for success has been banished from me.

Job 6:8-13
International Standard Version
Job Desires Death
8 “Who will grant my wish?[a]
I wish God would grant what I’m hoping for:
9 that God would just be willing[b] to crush me;
that he would let loose[c] and eliminate me!
10 At least I could still take comfort
and rejoice in unceasing anguish,
for I didn’t conceal what the Holy One has to say.
11 “Do I have the strength to wait?
And why[d] should I be patient?
12 Am I as strong as a rock?
Am I some kind of iron man?[e]
13 There is no help within me, is there?
My resources have been driven away from me, haven’t they?
