Job 6:8-13
Authorized (King James) Version
8 Oh that I might have my request;
and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me;
that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Then should I yet have comfort;
yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare;
for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should hope?
and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones?
or is my flesh of brass?
13 Is not my help in me?
and is wisdom driven quite from me?
Job 6:8-13
New King James Version
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
That God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 That it would please God to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and (A)cut me off!
10 Then I would still have comfort;
Though in anguish I would exult,
He will not spare;
For (B)I have not concealed the words of (C)the Holy One.
11 “What strength do I have, that I should hope?
And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh bronze?
13 Is my help not within me?
And is success driven from me?
