'Wish' in the Bible
"Who will grant my wish? I wish God would grant what I'm hoping for:
“I wish that it would please God to crush me,That He would let loose His hand and cut me off.
So why did you bring me out from the womb? I wish I had died, before anyone had seen me,
I wish I had never existedbut had been carried from the womb to the grave.
But I wish to speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.
I wish you'd all just shut up. Then at least you would appear to be wise.
Do you wish to torment a windblown leaf and chase after dry chaff?
I wish that someone might arbitratebetween a man and Godjust as a man pleads for his friend.
I wish that my words were written down,that they were recorded on a scroll
"I wish I could go back to how things were a few months ago; when God used to watch over me,
Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
I wish that Job were tried to the end, because of his answering like wicked men.
