Job 6:8-13
Legacy Standard Bible
8 “Oh that my request might come to pass,
And that God would grant my hope!
9 Would that God were (A)willing to crush me,
That He would release His hand and cut me off!
10 But it is still my comfort,
And I rejoice in unsparing pain,
That I (B)have not at all hidden away the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should [a](C)endure?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones,
Or is my flesh bronze?
13 Is it that there is no (D)help within me,
And that the [b](E)success of sound wisdom is driven from me?
Job 6:8-13
Revised Standard Version
8 “O that I might have my request,
and that God would grant my desire;
9 that it would please God to crush me,
that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
10 This would be my consolation;
I would even exult[a] in pain unsparing;
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 be patient?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones,
or is my flesh bronze?
13 In truth I have no help in me,
and any resource is driven from me.
