Job 6:8-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
8 If only my request would be granted.
If only God would grant me what I hope for:
9 that God would decide to crush me,
that he would unleash his hand and cut me off.
10 For then I would still have this comfort:
Even as I writhe in relentless pain,[a]
I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 What strength do I have to wait hopefully?
What end awaits me that would make me want to prolong my life?
12 Is my strength like stone,
or is my flesh bronze?
13 Certainly I have no power to help myself,
since the hope that I can recover has been driven far away from me.
Notas al pie
- Job 6:10 An alternative translation is I would be joyful even in relentless pain.
Job 6:8-13
Lexham English Bible
8 “O that[a] my request may come,
and that God may grant my hope,
9 that[b] God would decide that[c] he would crush me,
that he would let loose his hand and kill me.[d]
10 But[e] it will still be my consolation,
and I would recoil in unrelenting[f] pain,
for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should hold out?[g]
12 Or is my strength like the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh bronze?
13 Indeed,[h] my help is not in me,
and any success is driven from me.
