Job's Plea to God
1 MY soul is weary of my life, I will let my speech pass against my self. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.📜💬📚
2 I will say to God: Condemn me not: tell me why thou judgest me so.📜💬📚
3 Doth it seem good to thee, if thou calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy hands, and help the counsel of the impious?📜💬📚
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh: or as a man seeth, shalt thou also see?📜💬📚
5 Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men:📜💬📚
6 That thou seekest my iniquity, and searchest my sin?📜💬📚
7 And thou mayst know that I have done no impious thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand.📜💬📚
8 Thy hands have made me, & framed me wholly round-about, & dost thou so suddenly cast me down headlong?📜💬📚
9 Remember I beseech thee that as clay thou madest me, & into dust thou wilt bring me again.📜💬📚
10 Hast thou not as milk milked me, and curdled me as cheese?📜💬📚
11 With skin & flesh thou hast clothed me: with bones and sinews thou hast compacted me.📜💬📚
12 Life and mercy thou hast given to me, and thy visitation hath kept my spirit.📜💬📚
13 Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things.📜💬📚
14 If I have sinned and thou hast spared me for an hour: why doest thou not suffer me to be clean from mine iniquity?📜💬📚
15 And if I shall be impious, woe is to me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, filled with affliction and misery.📜💬📚
16 And for pride as a lioness thou wilt take me, and returning thou doest marvelously torment me.📜💬📚
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, & multipliest thy wrath toward me, and pains do war upon me.📜💬📚
18 Why didst thou bring me forth out of the matrice? Who would God, I had been consumed, that eye might not see me.📜💬📚
19 I had been as if I were not, carried from the womb to the grave.📜💬📚
20 Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? suffer me therefore, that I may a little lament my sorrow:📜💬📚
21 Before I go, and return not, unto the dark land, that is covered with the mist of death:📜💬📚
22 A land of misery and darkness, where is the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror inhabiteth.📜💬📚
