engKJVCPB: Job 10

=> Chapters

[1] My soul is weary of my life;

I will leave my complaint upon myself;

I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

[2] I will say unto God, Do not condemn me;

Shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

[3] Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress,

That thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands,

And shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

[4] Hast thou eyes of flesh?

Or seest thou as man seeth?

[5] Are thy days as the days of man?

Are thy years as man’s days,

[6] That thou inquirest after mine iniquity,

And searchest after my sin?

[7] Thou knowest that I am not wicked;

And there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.

[8] Thine hands have made me and fashioned me

Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

[9] Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay;

And wilt thou bring me into dust again?

[10] Hast thou not poured me out as milk,

And cruddled me like cheese?

[11] Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh,

And hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

[12] Thou hast granted me life and favour,

And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

[13] And these things hast thou hid in thine heart:

I know that this is with thee.

[14] If I sin, then thou markest me,

And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

[15] If I be wicked, woe unto me;

And if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head.

I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

[16] For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion:

And again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

[17] Thou renewest thy witnesses against me,

And increasest thine indignation upon me;

Changes and war are against me.

[18] 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!

[19] I should have been as though I had not been;

I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

[20] Are not my days few? cease then,

And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

[21] Before I go whence I shall not return,

Even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

[22] A land of darkness, as darkness itself;

And of the shadow of death, without any order,

And where the light is as darkness.
