CHAP. X. 1 Iob is wearie of his life, and setteth out his fragilitie before God. 20 He desireth him to stay his hand. 22 A description of death.


1   My soule is cut off note though I liue: I wil leaue my note complaint vpon my selfe, & wil speake

-- --

Mans creation. in the bitternesse of my soule.


2   I will say vnto God, note Condemne mee not: shew me, wherefore thou contendest with mee.


3   Thinkest thou it note good to oppresse me, and to cast off the note labour of thine handes, and to fauour the note counsel of the wicked?


4   Hast thou note carnall eyes? or doest thou see as man seeth?


5   Are thy dayes as mans note dayes? or thy yeres, as the time of man,


6   That thou inquirest of mine iniquitie, and searchest out my sinne?


7   Thou knowest that I can not do note wickedly: for none can deliuer me out of thine hand.


8   Thine note handes haue made me, and fashioned mee wholy rounde about, and wilt thou destroy me?


9   Rem&ebar;ber, I pray thee, that thou hast made me as note the clay, and wilt thou bring me into dust againe?


10   Hast thou not powred me out as milke? & turned me to cruds like cheese?


11   Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and ioyned me together with bones and sinewes.


12   Thou hast giuen me life, & note grace: & thy note visitation hath preserued my spirit.


13   Though thou hast hid these things in thine heart, yet I knowe note that it is so with thee.


14   If I haue sinned, then thou wilt streightly looke vnto me, and wilt not holde mee giltlesse of mine iniquitie.


15   If I haue done wickedly, wo vnto me: if I haue done righteously, I will not note lift vp mine head, being full of confusion, because I see mine affliction.


16   But let it increase: hunt thou me as a lyon: returne and shew thy selfe note marueilous vpon me.


17   Thou renuest thy plagues against me, and thou increasest thy wrath against me: note changes and armies of sorowes are against me.


18   Wherfore then hast thou brought me out of the wombe? Oh that I had perished, and that none eye had seene me!


19   And that I were as I had not bene, but brought from the wombe to the graue!


20   Are not my dayes fewe? let him note cease, and leaue off from me, that I may take a litle comfort,


21   Before I goe and shall not note returne, euen to the land of darkenesse and shadow of death:


22   Into a land, I say, darke as darknes it selfe, and into the shadow of death, where is none note order, but the light is there as darkenesse.
