Job 10:1-9 ▼

1 Weary in my soul, I will pour my words with groans upon him: I will speak being straitened in the bitterness of my soul.

2 And I will say to the Lord, Do not teach me to be impious; and wherefore hast thou thus judged me?

3 Is it good before thee if I be unrighteous? for thou hast disowned the work of thy hands, and attended to the counsel of the ungodly.

4 Or dost thou see as a mortal sees? or wilt thou look as a man sees?

5 Or is thy life human, or thy years the years of a man,

6 that thou hast enquired into mine iniquity, and searched out my sins?

7 For thou knowest that I have not committed iniquity: but who is he that can deliver out of thy hands?

8 Thy hands have formed me and made me; afterwards thou didst change thy mind , and smite me.

9 Remember that thou hast made me as clay, and thou dost turn me again to earth.
