Job 10:14-22

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

14If I have sinned, You will take note of me,

And will not acquit me of my guilt.

15‘If I am wicked, woe to me!

But if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.

I am full of shame, and conscious of my misery.

16‘And should my head be high, You would hunt me like a lion;

And You would show Your power against me again.

17‘You renew Your witnesses against me

And increase Your anger toward me;

Hardship after hardship is with me.

18‘Why then did You bring me out of the womb?

If only I had died and no eye had seen me!

19‘I should have been as though I had not been,

Brought from womb to tomb.’

20“Would He not leave my few days alone?

Withdraw from me so that I may have a little cheerfulness

21Before I go—and I shall not return—

To the land of darkness and deep shadow,

22The land of utter gloom like darkness itself,

Of deep shadow without order,

And it shines like darkness.”
