| 10:1 |
My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
|
| 10:2 |
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me.
|
| 10:3 |
Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, That thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, And shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
|
| 10:4 |
Hast thou eyes of flesh? Or seest thou as man seeth?
|
| 10:5 |
Are thy days as the days of man, Or thy years as man's days,
|
| 10:6 |
That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, And searchest after my sin,
|
| 10:7 |
Although thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?
|
| 10:8 |
Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
|
| 10:9 |
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; And wilt thou bring me into dust again?
|
| 10:10 |
Hast thou not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese?
|
| 10:11 |
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews.
|
| 10:12 |
Thou hast granted me life and lovingkindness; And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
|
| 10:13 |
Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee:
|
| 10:14 |
If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
|
| 10:15 |
If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction.
|
| 10:16 |
And if [my head] exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.
|
| 10:17 |
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me.
|
| 10:18 |
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.
|
| 10:19 |
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
|
| 10:20 |
Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
|
| 10:21 |
Before I go whence I shall not return, [Even] to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
|
| 10:22 |
The land dark as midnight, [The land] of the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight.
