Job 6:8-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ “Oh that my request might come to pass,
And that God would grant my longing!
⁹ “Would that God were ^(A)willing to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and cut me off!
¹⁰ “But it is still my consolation,
And I rejoice in unsparing pain,
That I ^(B)have not ^[a]denied the words of the Holy One.
¹¹ “What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should ^[b](C)endure?
¹² “Is my strength the strength of stones,
Or is my flesh bronze?
¹³ “Is it that my ^(D)help is not within me,
And that ^[c](E)deliverance is driven from me?
