Job 10 (WEBP)

[1] “My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
[2] I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
[3] Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
[4] Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
[5] Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,
[6] that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
[7] Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
[8] “‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
[9] Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
[10] Haven’t you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
[11] You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
[12] You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
[13] Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
[14] if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
[15] If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
[16] If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
[17] You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
[18] “‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
[19] I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
[20] Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
[21] before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
[22] the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’”

[1] My soul is weary () of my life; I will leave () my complaint upon myself; I will speak () in the bitterness of my soul.

[3] Is it good () unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, () That thou shouldest despise () the work of thine hands, And shine () upon the counsel of the wicked?
[4] Hast thou eyes of flesh? Or seest () thou as man seeth? ()
[5] Are thy days as the days of man? Are thy years as man’s days,
[6] That thou enquirest () after mine iniquity, And searchest () after my sin?
[7] Thou knowest that I am not wicked; () And there is none that can deliver () out of thine hand.
[8] Thine hands have made () me and fashioned () me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy () me.
[9] Remember, () I beseech thee, that thou hast made () me as the clay; And wilt thou bring me into dust again? ()
[10] Hast thou not poured me out () as milk, And curdled () me like cheese?
[11] Thou hast clothed () me with skin and flesh, And hast fenced () me with bones and sinews.

Job 10 (BYZ)

[1] καμνων τη ψυχη μου στενων επαφησω επ αυτον τα ρηματα μου λαλησω πικρια ψυχης μου συνεχομενος
[2] και ερω προς κυριον μη με ασεβειν διδασκε και δια τι με ουτως εκρινας
[3] η καλον σοι εαν αδικησω οτι απειπω εργα χειρων σου βουλη δε ασεβων προσεσχες
[4] η ωσπερ βροτος ορα καθορας η καθως ορα ανθρωπος βλεψη
[5] η ο βιος σου ανθρωπινος εστιν η τα ετη σου ανδρος
[6] οτι ανεζητησας την ανομιαν μου και τας αμαρτιας μου εξιχνιασας
[7] οιδας γαρ οτι ουκ ησεβησα αλλα τις εστιν ο εκ των χειρων σου εξαιρουμενος
[8] αι χειρες σου επλασαν με και εποιησαν με μετα ταυτα μεταβαλων με επαισας
[9] μνησθητι οτι πηλον με επλασας εις δε γην με παλιν αποστρεφεις
[10] η ουχ ωσπερ γαλα με ημελξας ετυρωσας δε με ισα τυρω
[11] δερμα και κρεας με ενεδυσας οστεοις δε και νευροις με ενειρας
[12] ζωην δε και ελεος εθου παρ εμοι η δε επισκοπη σου εφυλαξεν μου το πνευμα
[13] ταυτα εχων εν σεαυτω οιδα οτι παντα δυνασαι αδυνατει δε σοι ουθεν
[14] εαν τε γαρ αμαρτω φυλασσεις με απο δε ανομιας ουκ αθωον με πεποιηκας
[15] εαν τε γαρ ασεβης ω οιμμοι εαν τε ω δικαιος ου δυναμαι ανακυψαι πληρης γαρ ατιμιας ειμι
[16] αγρευομαι γαρ ωσπερ λεων εις σφαγην παλιν δε μεταβαλων δεινως με ολεκεις
[17] επανακαινιζων επ εμε την ετασιν μου οργη δε μεγαλη μοι εχρησω επηγαγες δε επ εμε πειρατηρια
[18] ινα τι ουν εκ κοιλιας με εξηγαγες και ουκ απεθανον οφθαλμος δε με ουκ ειδεν
[19] και ωσπερ ουκ ων εγενομην δια τι γαρ εκ γαστρος εις μνημα ουκ απηλλαγην
[20] η ουκ ολιγος εστιν ο χρονος του βιου μου εασον με αναπαυσασθαι μικρον
[21] προ του με πορευθηναι οθεν ουκ αναστρεψω εις γην σκοτεινην και γνοφεραν
[22] εις γην σκοτους αιωνιου ου ουκ εστιν φεγγος ουδε οραν ζωην βροτων
