nkjv Job:10-11
nkjv@Job:10:1 @ "My soul loathes my life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
nkjv@Job:10:2 @ I will say to God, "Do not condemn me; Show me why You contend with me.
nkjv@Job:10:3 @ 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?
nkjv@Job:10:4 @ Do You have eyes of flesh? Or do You see as man sees?
nkjv@Job:10:5 @ Are Your days like the days of a mortal man? Are Your years like the days of a mighty man,
nkjv@Job:10:6 @ That You should seek for my iniquity And search out my sin,
nkjv@Job:10:7 @ Although You know that I am not wicked, And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?
nkjv@Job:10:8 @ "Your hands have made me and fashioned me, An intricate unity; Yet You would destroy me.
nkjv@Job:10:9 @ Remember, I pray, that You have made me like clay. And will You turn me into dust again?
nkjv@Job:10:10 @ Did You not pour me out like milk, And curdle me like cheese,
nkjv@Job:10:11 @ Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews?
nkjv@Job:10:12 @ You have granted me life and favor, And Your care has preserved my spirit.
nkjv@Job:10:13 @ "And these things You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You:
nkjv@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, then You mark me, And will not acquit me of my iniquity.
nkjv@Job:10:15 @ If 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!
nkjv@Job:10:16 @ If my head is exalted, You hunt me like a fierce lion, And again You show Yourself awesome against me.
nkjv@Job:10:17 @ You renew Your witnesses against me, And increase Your indignation toward me; Changes and war are ever with me.
nkjv@Job:10:18 @ "Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!
nkjv@Job:10:19 @ I would have been as though I had not been. I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
nkjv@Job:10:20 @ Are not my days few? Cease! Leave me alone, that I may take a little comfort,
nkjv@Job:10:21 @ Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, To the land of darkness and the shadow of death,
nkjv@Job:10:22 @ A land as dark as darkness itself, As the shadow of death, without any order, Where even the light is like darkness."'
nkjv@Job:11:1 @ Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
nkjv@Job:11:2 @ "Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be vindicated?
nkjv@Job:11:3 @ Should your empty talk make men hold their peace? And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?
nkjv@Job:11:4 @ For you have said, "My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in your eyes.'
nkjv@Job:11:5 @ But oh, that God would speak, And open His lips against you,
nkjv@Job:11:6 @ That He would show you the secrets of wisdom! For they would double your prudence. Know therefore that God exacts from you Less than your iniquity deserves.
nkjv@Job:11:7 @ "Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?
nkjv@Job:11:8 @ They are higher than heaven-- what can you do? Deeper than Sheol-- what can you know?
nkjv@Job:11:9 @ Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea.
nkjv@Job:11:10 @ "If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment, Then who can hinder Him?
nkjv@Job:11:11 @ For He knows deceitful men; He sees wickedness also. Will He not then consider it?
nkjv@Job:11:12 @ For an empty-headed man will be wise, When a wild donkey's colt is born a man.
nkjv@Job:11:13 @ "If you would prepare your heart, And stretch out your hands toward Him;
nkjv@Job:11:14 @ If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away, And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
nkjv@Job:11:15 @ Then surely you could lift up your face without spot; Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
nkjv@Job:11:16 @ Because you would forget your misery, And remember it as waters that have passed away,
nkjv@Job:11:17 @ And your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.
nkjv@Job:11:18 @ And you would be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety.
nkjv@Job:11:19 @ You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid; Yes, many would court your favor.
nkjv@Job:11:20 @ But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope--loss of life!"
nkjv@Job:12:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
