The King James Version Bible

Job 10:11-22

  1. Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

  2. Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

  3. And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.

  4. If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

  5. 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 thou mine affliction;

  6. For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

  7. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.

  8. Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

  9. I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

  10. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

  11. Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

  12. A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
