Job 10:10-22

Chapter 10
10 Did you not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese? 11 You clothe me with skin and flesh, and you fence me in with bones and sinews. 12 You made life and steadfast love with me, and your visitation kept my spirit. 13 And these hidden things in your heart I have known, for this is with you. 14 If I sinned, and you kept me, and from my iniquity you will not acquit me. 15 If my wickedness—I make disgusting to him, and my righteousness—I do not lift my head; I am sated with shame, and he sees my oppression. 16 And it rises like a lion—you hunt me, and you sit and gaze in emptiness upon me. 17 You renew your witnesses against me, and you multiply your anger against me; changes and a host are with me. 18 And why did you bring me out from the womb, that I should die, and an eye not see me. 19 as if I had not been, I would be carried from womb to grave 20 Are not my days few? Let them cease, leave me alone, and I will go on a little. 21 before I go and do not return, to the land of darkness and deep shadow of death 22 Earth of gloom like the shadow of death, without order and like darkness.
