Job 10:13-22 - You Have Not Explained

¹³
‘Yet these [present evils] You have hidden in Your heart [since my creation]:
I know that this was within You [in Your purpose and thought].
¹⁴
‘If I sin, then You would take note and observe me,
And You would not acquit me of my guilt.
¹⁵
‘If I am wicked, woe to me [for judgment comes]!
And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
For I am sated and filled with disgrace and the sight of my misery.
¹⁶
‘Should I lift my head up, You would hunt me like a lion;
And again You would show Your marvelous power against me.
¹⁷
‘You renew Your witnesses against me
And increase Your indignation and anger toward me;
Hardship after hardship is with me [attacking me time after time].

¹⁸
‘Why then did You bring me out of the womb?
Would that I had perished and no eye had seen me!
¹⁹
‘I should have been as though I had not existed;
[I should have been] carried from the womb to the grave.’
²⁰
“Would He not let my few days alone,
Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer
²¹
Before I go—and I shall not return—
To the land of darkness and the deep shadow [of death],
²²
The [sunless] land of utter gloom as darkness itself,
[The land] of the shadow of death, without order,
And [where] it shines as [thick] darkness.”
