Job 10:1-9 ▼

1 “I am disgusted with my life. Let me complain freely. My bitter soul must complain.

2 I will say to God, ‘Don’t simply condemn me— tell me the charge you are bringing against me.

3 What do you gain by oppressing me? Why do you reject me, the work of your own hands, while smiling on the schemes of the wicked?

4 Are your eyes like those of a human? Do you see things only as people see them?

5 Is your lifetime only as long as ours? Is your life so short

6 that you must quickly probe for my guilt and search for my sin?

7 Although you know I am not guilty, no one can rescue me from your hands.

8 “‘You formed me with your hands; you made me, yet now you completely destroy me.

9 Remember that you made me from dust— will you turn me back to dust so soon?
