Job Complains to God, Craves a Little Ease Before Death

 
"My soul is weary of my life.I will give free course to my complaint.I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. +
I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me.Show me why you contend with me. +
Is it good to you that you should oppress,that you should despise the work of your hands,and smile on the counsel of the wicked? +
Do you have eyes of flesh?Or do you see as man sees? +
Are your days as the days of mortals,or your years as man's years,
that you inquire after my iniquity,and search after my sin?
Although you know that I am not wicked,there is no one who can deliver out of your hand. +
"'Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether,yet you destroy me. +
Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay.Will you bring me into dust again? +
10 
Haven't you poured me out like milk,and curdled me like cheese? +
11 
You have clothed me with skin and flesh,and knit me together with bones and sinews. +
12 
You have granted me life and loving kindness.Your visitation has preserved my spirit. +
13 
Yet you hid these things in your heart.I know that this is with you: +
14 
if I sin, then you mark me.You will not acquit me from my iniquity. +
15 
If I am wicked, woe to me.If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head,being filled with disgrace,and conscious of my affliction. +
16 
If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion.Again you show yourself powerful to me. +
17 
You renew your witnesses against me,and increase your indignation on me.Changes and warfare are with me. +
18 
"'Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb?I wish I had given up the spirit, 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 
Aren't my days few?Cease then.Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort, +
21 
before I go where I shall not return from,to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 
the land dark as midnight,of the shadow of death,without any order,where the light is as midnight.'" +
