Job Despairs of God's Dealings

1

1 aI loatheh6962a my own lifeh2425b; I will giveh5800a fullh5800ah5921 venth5800a to  bmy complainth7879; I will speakh1696 in the bitternessh4751 of my soulh5315.

2

"I will sayh559 to Godh433, ` aDo not condemnh7561 me; Let me knowh3045 whyh5921h4100 You contendh7378 with me.

3

`Is it  1righth2896a for You indeedh3588 to  aoppressh6231, To rejecth3988a  bthe laborh3018 of Your handsh3709, And  2to lookh3313 favorablyh3313 on  cthe schemesh6098 of the wickedh7563?

4

`Have You eyesh5869 of fleshh1320? Orh518 do You  aseeh7200 as a manh582 seesh7200?

5

`Are Your daysh3117 as the daysh3117 of a mortalh582, Orh518  aYour yearsh8141 as man'sh1397 yearsh3117,

6

That  aYou should seekh1245 for my guilth5771 And searchh1875 after my sinh2403b?

7

`Accordingh5921 to Your knowledgeh1847  aI am indeedh3588 not guiltyh7561, Yet thereh369 is  bnoh369 deliveranceh5337 from Your handh3027.

8

aYour handsh3027 fashionedh6087b and madeh6213a me  1altogetherh3162h5439,  bAnd would You destroyh1104 me?

9

`Rememberh2142 nowh4994, that You have madeh6213a me as  aclayh2563a; And would You  bturnh7725 me into dusth6083 againh7725?

10

`Did You not pourh5413 me out like milkh2461 And curdleh7087a me like cheeseh1385;

11

Clotheh3847 me with skinh5785 and fleshh1320, And knith5526b me togetherh5526b with bonesh6106 and sinewsh1517?

12

`You have  agrantedh6213a me lifeh2425b and lovingkindnessh2617a; And Your careh6486 has preservedh8104 my spirith7307.

13

`Yet  atheseh428 thingsh428 You have concealedh6845 in Your hearth3824; I knowh3045 that thish384 is withinh5973 You:

14

Ifh518 I sinh2398, then You would  atakeh8104 noteh8104 of me, And  bwould not acquith5352 me of my guilth5771.

15

`Ifh518  aI am wickedh7561, woeh480 to me! And  bif I am righteoush6663, I dare not lifth5375 up my headh7218. I am satedh7649 with disgraceh7036 and  1conscioush7202 of my miseryh6040a.

16

`Should my head be liftedh1342 up,  aYou would hunth6679 me like a lionh7826; And againh7725 You would showh6381 Your  bpowerh6381 against me.

17

`You renewh2318  aYour witnessesh5707 againsth5048 me And increaseh7235a Your angerh3708b towardh5973 me;  1 bHardshiph2487 after hardshiph6635 is with me.

18

aWhyh4100 then have You broughth3318 me out of the wombh7358? Would that I had diedh1478 and noh3808 eyeh5869 had seenh7200 me!

19

`I should have beenh1961 as thoughh3512c I had not beenh1961, Carriedh2986 from wombh990 to tombh6913.'

20

"Would He not leth2308  amy fewh4592 daysh3117 aloneh2308?  1 bWithdrawh7896 from me that I may haveh1082 a littleh4592 cheerh1082

21

Beforeh2962 I goh1980-- aand I shall not returnh7725--  bTo the landh776 of darknessh2822 and  cdeeph6757 shadowh6757,

22

The landh776 of utterh5890 gloomh5890 as darknessh652 itself, Of deeph6757 shadowh6757 withouth3808 orderh5468, And which shinesh3313 as the darknessh652."
