OEB JOB Chapter 10

JOB 10 ©

10In my soul is a loathing of life,

I will let my complaint loose against Him.

2I will say to God, "Do not condemn me,

But show me the ground of Thy quarrel.

3What dost Thou gain from oppressing

And spurning the work of Thy hands?

4Hast Thou then eyes of flesh?

Or seest Thou as man seeth?

5Are Thy days like the days of mortals,

Or Thy years like the days of man,

6That Thou shouldest seek out my guilt,

And make this search for my sin,

7Though Thou knowest I am not guilty.

And no treachery cleaves to my hand?

8Thy hands did fashion and mould me;

And now wilt Thou turn and destroy me?

9Remember Thou madest me like clay,

And back to the dust wilt Thou bring me?

10Didst Thou not pour me out like milk,

And curdle me after like cheese,

11Clothe me with skin and with flesh,

And knit me with bones and with sinews?

12Life Thou didst grant me and favour,

Thy Providence guarded my spirit;

13While this was Thy secret heart,

And this was Thy purpose, I know.

14Do I sin? Then Thou dost observe me,

And refuse to acquit me of guilt.

15Am I wicked? Then woe us me.

Just? I dare not lift up my head–

Full of shame and drunken with sorrow.

16If I rise, like a lion Thou huntest me,

Working fresh marvels upon me,

17And bringing new witness against me.

Thine anger with me Thou increasest,

Thou musterest fresh hosts against me.

18O why from the womb didst Thou bring me?

O why died I not all unseen?

19O to be as though I had not been,

Borne from the womb to the grave!

20Are the days of my life not few?

O leave me to smile a little,

21Ere I go to return no more,

To the land of darkness and gloom,

22To the land of murky darkness,

Of gloom and utter confusion,

Where the very light is as darkness."
