Job 6:8-13

New International Version - UK

⁸ ‘Oh, that I might have my request,
    that God would grant what I hope for,
⁹ that God would be willing to crush me,
    to let loose his hand and cut off my life!
¹⁰ Then I would still have this consolation –
    my joy in unrelenting pain –
    that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.

¹¹ ‘What strength do I have, that I should still hope?
    What prospects, that I should be patient?
¹² Do I have the strength of stone?
    Is my flesh bronze?
¹³ Do I have any power to help myself,
    now that success has been driven from me?
