Job 10:1-22
[1] My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. [2] I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. [3] Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked? [4] Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth? [5] Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days, [6] That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin? [7] Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand. [8] Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. [9] Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? [10] Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? [11] Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. [12] Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. [13] And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee. [14] If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. [15] If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction; [16] For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me. [17] Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me. [18] Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me! [19] I should have been as though I had not been; I should 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 whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; [22] A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness. |

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. |

Job 9:19
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? |
