CHAP. X.
1 Iob, taking libertie of complaint, expostulateth
with God about his afflictions. 18 Hee
complaineth of life, and craueth a little ease
before death.
1
My soule is note weary of my
life, I will leaue my complaint
vpon my selfe; I
will speake in the bitternesse
of my soule.
2
I will say vnto God, Doe not
condemne mee; shewe me wherefore
thou contendest with me.
3
Is it good vnto thee, that thou
shouldest oppresse? that thou shouldest
despise note the worke of thine hands? and
shine vpon the counsell of the wicked?
4
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest
thou as man seeth?
5
Are thy dayes as the dayes of man?
are thy yeeres as mans dayes,
6
That thou enquirest after mine
iniquitie, and searchest after my sinne?
7
noteThou knowest that I am not
wicked, and there is none that can deliuer
out of thine hand.
8
Thine hands note haue made me and
-- --
Mans righteousnesse.
fashioned me together round about yet
thou doest destroy me.
9
Remember, I beseech thee, that
thou hast made me as the clay, and wilt
thou bring me into dust againe?
10
noteHast thou not powred me out as
milke, and cruddled me like cheese?
11
Thou hast cloathed me with skin
and flesh, and hast note fenced me with
bones and sinewes.
12
Thou hast granted me life and fauour,
and thy visitation hath preserued
my spirit.
13
And these things hast thou hid in
thine heart; I know that this is with
thee.
14
If I sinne, then thou markest
me, and thou wilt not acquite me from
mine iniquitie.
15
If I be wicked, woe vnto me;
and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift
vp my head: I am full of confusion,
therefore see thou mine affliction:
16
For it increaseth: thou huntest me
as a fierce Lion: and againe thou shewest
thy selfe marueilous vpon me.
17
Thou renuest thy note witnesses against
me, and increasest thine indignation
vpon me; Changes and warre are
against me.
18
noteWherfore then hast thou brought
me forth out of the wombe? Oh that I
had giuen vp the ghost, and no eye had
seene me!
19
I should haue bene as though I
had not bene, I should haue bene caried
from the wombe to the graue.
20
noteAre not my dayes few? cease
then, and let me alone that I may take
comfort a litle,
21
Before I goe whence I shall not
returne, euen to the land of darknes and
the shadow of death,
22
A land of darknes, as darknes it
selfe, and of the shadow of death, without
any order, and where the light is as
darkenes.
