Job chapter 10

English Standard Version

1"I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2I will say to God, Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me. 3 Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the designs of the wicked? 4Have you eyes of flesh? Do you see as man sees? 5Are your days as the days of man, or your years as a man 's years, 6that you seek out my iniquity and search for my sin, 7although you know that I am not guilty, and there is none to deliver out of your hand? 8 Your hands fashioned and made me, and now you have destroyed me altogether. 9Remember that you have made me like clay; and will you return me to the dust? 10Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese? 11You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews. 12You have granted me life and steadfast love, and your care has preserved my spirit. 13Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this was your purpose. 14If I sin, you watch me and do not acquit me of my iniquity. 15 If I am guilty, woe to me! If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look on my affliction. 16And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me like a lion and again work wonders against me. 17You renew your witnesses against me and increase your vexation toward me; you bring fresh troops against me. 18 "Why did you bring me out from the womb? Would that I had died before any eye had seen me 19 and were as though I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave. 20 Are not my days few? Then cease, and leave me alone, that I may find a little cheer 21before I go — and I shall not return — to the land of darkness and deep shadow, 22the land of gloom like thick darkness, like deep shadow without any order, where light is as thick darkness."
New International Version

New American Standard Bible

1'I am disgusted with my own life; I will express my complaint freely; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me; Let me know why You contend with me. 3Is it right for You indeed to oppress, To reject the work of Your hands, And to look favorably on the plan of the wicked? 4Do You have eyes of flesh? Or do You see as mankind sees? 5Are Your days like the days of a mortal, Or Your years like a man’s year, 6That You should search for my guilt And carefully seek my sin? 7According to Your knowledge I am indeed not guilty, Yet there is no one to save me from Your hand. 8‘Your hands fashioned and made me altogether, Yet would You destroy me? 9Remember that You have made me as clay; Yet would You turn me into dust again? 10Did You not pour me out like milk, And curdle me like cheese, 11Clothe me with skin and flesh, And intertwine me with bones and tendons? 12You have granted me life and goodness; And Your care has guarded my spirit. 13Yet You have concealed these things in Your heart; I know that this is within You: 14If I have sinned, You will take note of me, And will not acquit me of my guilt. 15If I am wicked, woe to me! But if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head. I am full of shame, and conscious of my misery. 16And should my head be high, You would hunt me like a lion; And You would show Your power against me again. 17You renew Your witnesses against me And increase Your anger toward me; Hardship after hardship is with me. 18‘Why then did You bring me out of the womb? If only I had died and no eye had seen me! 19I should have been as though I had not been, Brought from womb to tomb.’ 20Would He not leave my few days alone? Withdraw from me so that I may have a little cheerfulness 21Before I go—and I shall not return— To the land of darkness and deep shadow, 22The land of utter gloom like darkness itself, Of deep shadow without order, And it shines like darkness.'

New King James Version

1“My soul loathes my life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me; Show me why You contend with me. 3 Does it seem good to You that You should oppress, That You should despise the work of Your hands, And smile on the counsel of the wicked? 4Do You have eyes of flesh? Or do You see as man sees? 5 Are Your days like the days of a mortal man? Are Your years like the days of a mighty man, 6That You should seek for my iniquity And search out my sin, 7Although You know that I am not wicked, And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand? 8‘Your hands have made me and fashioned me, An intricate unity; Yet You would destroy me. 9Remember, I pray, that You have made me like clay. And will You turn me into dust again? 10 Did You not pour me out like milk, And curdle me like cheese, 11Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews? 12You have granted me life and favor, And Your care has preserved my spirit. 13‘And these things You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You: 14If I sin, then You mark me, And will not acquit me of my iniquity. 15If I am wicked, woe to me; Even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head. I am full of disgrace; See my misery! 16If my head is exalted, You hunt me like a fierce lion, And again You show Yourself awesome against me. 17You renew Your witnesses against me, And increase Your indignation toward me; Changes and war are ever with me. 18‘Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me! 19I would have been as though I had not been. I would have been carried from the womb to the grave. 20 Are not my days few? Cease! Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort, 21Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, To the land of darkness and the shadow of death, 22A land as dark as darkness itself, As the shadow of death, without any order, Where even the light is like darkness.’ ”
