you are here: > Job > Chapter 10
 
Chapter 10  
     
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 you contendest with me.
  
3.
 Is it good unto you that you shouldest oppress, that you shouldest despise the work of your hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
  
4.
 Hast you eyes of flesh? or seest you as man seeth?
  
5.
 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
  
6.
 That you enquirest 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 your hand.
  
8.
 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet you dost destroy me.
  
9.
 Remember, I beseech thee, that you have made me as the clay; and will you bring me into dust again?
  
10.
 Hast you not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
  
11.
 Thou have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews.
  
12.
 Thou have granted me life and favour, and thy visitation has preserved my spirit.
  
13.
 And these things have you hid in your heart: I know that this is with thee.
  
14.
 If I sin, then you markest me, and you will 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 you mine affliction;
  
16.
 For it increaseth. You huntest me as a fierce lion: and again you shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
  
17.
 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest your indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
  
18.
 Wherefore then have you 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.
