Job 10:1-9 ▼

1 “I am disgusted with my life and loathe it! I will give free expression to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2 “I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me [and declare me guilty]! Show me why You contend and argue and struggle with me.

3 ‘Does it indeed seem right to You to oppress, To despise and reject the work of Your hands, And to look with favor on the schemes of the wicked?

4 ‘Do You have eyes of flesh? Do You see as a man sees?

5 ‘Are Your days as the days of a mortal, Are Your years as man’s years,

6 That You seek my guilt And search for my sin?

7 ‘Although You know that I am not guilty or wicked, Yet there is no one who can rescue me from Your hand.

8 ‘Your hands have formed and made me altogether. Would You [turn around and] destroy me?

9 ‘Remember now, that You have made me as clay; So will You turn me into dust again?
