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