# Job 10

[1](#verse-1) “My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

[2](#verse-2) I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.

[3](#verse-3) Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?

[4](#verse-4) Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?

[5](#verse-5) Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,

[6](#verse-6) that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?

[7](#verse-7) Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.

[8](#verse-8) “‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.

[9](#verse-9) Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?

[10](#verse-10) Haven’t you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?

[11](#verse-11) You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.

[12](#verse-12) You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.

[13](#verse-13) Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:

[14](#verse-14) if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.

[15](#verse-15) If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.

[16](#verse-16) If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.

[17](#verse-17) You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.

[18](#verse-18) “‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.

[19](#verse-19) I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

[20](#verse-20) Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,

[21](#verse-21) before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

[22](#verse-22) the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’”
