Job - Chapter 10 - King James Version
- My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
- I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
- Is itgood unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
- Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
- Arethy days as the days of man?arethy years as man’s days,
- That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
- Thou knowest that I am not wicked; andthere isnone that can deliver out of thine hand.
- Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
- Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
- Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
- Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
- Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
- And thesethingshast thou hid in thine heart: I know that thisiswith thee.
- If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
- If I be wicked, woe unto me; andifI be righteous,yetwill I not lift up my head.I amfull of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
- For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
- Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and warareagainst me.
- Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
- I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
- Arenot my days few? ceasethen, andlet me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
- Before I gowhenceI shall not return,evento the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
- A land of darkness, as darknessitself; andof the shadow of death, without any order, andwherethe lightisas darkness.
