Job 6:9

Job's Second Speech: A Response To Eliphaz

⁸ If only my request would be granted
and God would provide what I hope for:
⁹ that He would decide to crush me,
to unleash His power and cut me off!
¹⁰ It would still bring me comfort,
and I would leap for joy in unrelenting pain
that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
