Job 10  Legacy Standard Bible

⁸ ‘^(L)Your hands fashioned and made me ^[c]altogether,
^(M)And would You swallow me up?
⁹ Remember now, that You have made me as ^(N)clay;
And would You ^(O)turn me into dust again?
¹⁰ Did You not pour me out like milk
And curdle me like cheese,
¹¹ Clothe me with skin and flesh,
And knit me together with bones and sinews?
¹² You have ^(P)made alongside me life and lovingkindness;
And Your care has kept my spirit.
¹³ Yet ^(Q)these things You have concealed in Your heart;
I know that this is within You:
¹⁴ If I sin, then You would ^(R)take note of me
And ^(S)would not acquit me of my guilt.
¹⁵ If ^(T)I am wicked, woe to me!
And ^(U)if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
I am sated with disgrace—so see my misery!
¹⁶ Should my head be set on high, ^(V)You would hunt me like a lion;
And again You would show Your ^(W)wonders against me.
¹⁷ You renew ^(X)Your witnesses against me
And increase Your vexation toward me;
^[d](Y)Hardship after hardship is with me.

¹⁸ ‘^(Z)Why then have You brought me out of the womb?
Would that I had breathed my last and no eye had seen me!
¹⁹ I should have been as though I had not been,
Carried from womb to tomb.’
²⁰ Would He not cease ^(AA)for a few of my days?
^[e](AB)Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer
²¹ Before I go—^(AC)and I shall not return—
^(AD)To the land of darkness and ^(AE)shadow of death,
²² The land of utter gloom as the thick darkness itself,
Of the shadow of death, without order,
And which shines as the thick darkness.”
