Job 6:9

Job's Second Speech: A Response To Eliphaz

⁸ If only I might have an answer to my prayer, and God would give me my desire! ⁹ If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off! ¹⁰ So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.
