Job 10:4Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
Job 10:5Are your days as the days of mortals, Or your years as man's years,
Job 10:6That you inquire after my iniquity, And search after my sin?
Job 10:7Although you know that I am not wicked, There is no one who can deliver out of your hand.

Job 10:9Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
Job 10:10Haven't you poured me out like milk, And curdled me like cheese?
Job 10:11You have clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews.
Job 10:12You have granted me life and lovingkindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
Job 10:13Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
Job 10:14If I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
Job 10:15If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head, Being filled with disgrace, And conscious of my affliction.
Job 10:16If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
Job 10:17You renew your witnesses against me, And increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
Job 10:18"'Why, then, have you brought me forth out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
Job 10:19I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
Job 10:20Aren't my days few? Cease then, Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
Job 10:21Before I go where I shall not return from, To the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
Job 10:22The land dark as midnight, Of the shadow of death, without any order, Where the light is as midnight.'"
