chapter_Job_10
Job 10:1: My soul hath been weary of my life, I leave off my talking to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul. Job 10:2: I say unto God, 'Do not condemn me, Let me know why Thou dost strive with me. Job 10:3: Is it good for Thee that Thou dost oppress? That Thou despisest the labour of Thy hands, And on the counsel of the wicked hast shone? Job 10:4: Eyes of flesh hast Thou? As man seeth &#8212; seest Thou? Job 10:5: As the days of man are Thy days? Thy years as the days of a man? Job 10:6: That Thou inquirest for mine iniquity, And for my sin seekest? Job 10:7: For Thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is no deliverer from Thy hand. Job 10:8: Thy hands have taken pains about me, And they make me together round about, And Thou swallowest me up! Job 10:9: Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And unto dust Thou dost bring me back. Job 10:10: Dost Thou not as milk pour me out? And as cheese curdle me? Job 10:11: Skin and flesh Thou dost put on me, And with bones and sinews dost fence me. Job 10:12: Life and kindness Thou hast done with me. And Thy inspection hath preserved my spirit. Job 10:13: And these Thou hast laid up in Thy heart, I have known that this is with Thee. Job 10:14: If I sinned, then Thou hast observed me, And from mine iniquity dost not acquit me, Job 10:15: If I have done wickedly &#8212; woe to me, And righteously &#8212; I lift not up my head, Full of shame &#8212; then see my affliction, Job 10:16: And it riseth &#8212; as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou turnest back &#8212; Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me. Job 10:17: Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare are with me. Job 10:18: And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I expire, and the eye doth not see me. Job 10:19: As I had not been, I am, From the belly to the grave I am brought, Job 10:20: Are not my days few? Cease then, and put from me, And I brighten up a little, Job 10:21: Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and death-shade, Job 10:22: A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade &#8212; and no order, And the shining is as thick darkness.'
