Job 10:1 - 10:7

Job Cries Out to God

“My soul is loathed by my life;
I will abandon all restraint in myself to my complaint;
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2
I will say to God, ‘Do not account me as wicked;
Let me know why You contend with me.
3
Is it good to You that You oppress,
That You reject the labor of Your hands,
And cause the counsel of the wicked to shine forth?
4
Have You eyes of flesh?
Or do You see as a mortal man sees?
5
Are Your days as the days of a mortal man,
Or Your years as man’s years,
6
That You should seek for my guilt
And search after my sin?
7
According to Your knowledge I am indeed not wicked,
Yet there is no deliverer from Your hand.
