Job 6:8-13

Expanded Bible

⁸ “How I wish that I might have what I ask for
    and that God would give me what I hope for.
⁹ How I wish God would crush me
    and reach out his hand to ·destroy me [cut me off].
¹⁰ Then I would have this ·comfort [consolation]
    and be glad even in this unending pain,
because I would know I did not reject the words of the Holy One.

¹¹ “·I do not have the [^LWhat is my…?] strength to wait.
    ·There is nothing to hope for,
    so why should I be patient [^LWhat is my end that I should arrange my life]?
¹² ·I do not [^LDo I…?] have the strength of stone;
    ·my flesh is not [^Lis my flesh…?] bronze.
¹³ ·I have no power to help myself [^LIs there no help for me?],
    because ·success [resourcefulness] has been ·taken away [driven] from me.
