Job 10:6-22
-
6 That thou 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 thine hand.
-
8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
-
9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
-
10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
-
11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
-
12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
-
13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
-
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt 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 thou mine affliction;
-
16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
-
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
-
18 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!
-
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.
