JOB SPEAKS |
|
1 |
|
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint on my self; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. |
|
2 |
|
I will say to God, Do not condemn me; make me know why You contend with me. |
|
3 |
|
Is it good to You that You should press down, |
|
|
|
that You should despise the work of Your hands, |
|
|
|
and shine on the counsel of the wicked? |
|
4 |
|
Have You eyes of flesh? Or do You see as a man sees? |
|
5 |
|
Are Your days like the days of man? Are Your years like man's days, |
|
6 |
|
that You seek out my iniquity, and search for my sin? |
|
7 |
|
You know that I am not wicked; |
|
7 |
|
and there is none who can deliver out of Your hand. |
|
8 |
|
Your hands have made me and shaped me, together all around; yet You destroy me. |
|
9 |
|
Remember, I beseech You, that You have formed me as the clay; and will You bring me into the dust again? |
|
10 |
|
Have You not poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese? |
|
11 |
|
You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews. |
|
12 |
|
You have granted me life and favor, and Your providence has preserved my spirit. |
|
13 |
|
And these have You hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You. |
|
14 |
|
If I sin, then You mark me, and You will not acquit me from my iniquity. |
|
15 |
|
If I am wicked, woe to me; and if I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, being filled with shame, and looking on my affliction. |
|
16 |
|
For it increases! You hunt me as a fierce lion; and again You show Yourself marvelous on me. |
|
17 |
|
You renew Your witnesses against me, and increase Your anger on me; |
|
17 |
|
changes and warfare are against me. |
|
18 |
|
Why then have You brought me from the womb? Oh that I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me! |
|
19 |
|
I should have been as though I had not been; I would 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, and I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; |
|
22 |
|
a land of obscurity, the darkness of the shadow of death, without any order, and the shining is as darkness. |
