Job:10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My soul is weary of my life ;
I will leave my complaint on my self ;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul .
*
I will say to God ,
Do not condemn me ;
make me know why You contend with me .
*
Is [
it ]
good to You that You should press down ,
that You should despise the work of Your hands ,
and shine on the counsel of the wicked ?
* [
Have ]
You eyes of flesh ?
Or do You see as a man sees ?
* [
Are ]
Your days like the days of man ? [
Are ]
Your years like man '
s days ,
*
that You seek out my iniquity ,
and search for my sin ?
*
You know that I am not wicked ;
and [
there is ]
none who can deliver out of Your hand .
*
Your hands have made me and shaped me ,
together all around ;
yet You destroy me .
*
Remember ,
I beseech You ,
that You have formed me as the clay ;
and will You bring me into the dust again ?
*
Have You not poured me out like milk ,
and curdled me like cheese ?
*
You have clothed me with skin and flesh ,
and have fenced me with bones and sinews .
*
You have granted me life and favor ,
and Your providence has preserved my spirit .
*
And these have You hidden in Your heart ;
I know that this [
was ]
with You .
*
If I sin ,
then You mark me ,
and You will not acquit me from my iniquity .
*
If I am wicked ,
woe to me ;
and [
if ]
I am righteous ,
I will not lift up my head , [
being ]
filled with shame ,
and looking on my affliction .
*
For it increases !
You hunt me as a fierce lion ;
and again You show Yourself marvelous on me .
*
You renew Your witnesses against me ,
and increase Your anger on me ;
changes and warfare [
are ]
against me .
*
Why then have You brought me from the womb ?
Oh that I had given up the spirit ,
and no eye had seen me !
*
I should have been as though I had not been ;
I would have been carried from the womb to the grave .
*
Are not my days few ?
Cease [
then ,
and ]
let me alone ,
that I may take comfort a little ,
*
before I go ,
and I shall not return ,
even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death ;
*
a land of obscurity ,
the darkness of the shadow of death ,
without any order ,
and the shining [
is ]
as darkness .
