[Are] thy days as the days of man? [are] thy years as man's days, (10:5) That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin? (10:6) Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and [there is] none that can deliver out of thine hand (10:7) Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me (10:8) Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? (10:9) Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? (10:10) Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews (10:11) Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit (10:12) And these [things] hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this [is] with thee (10:13) If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity (10:14) If I be wicked, woe unto me; and [if] I be righteous, [yet] will I not lift up my head. [I am] full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction; (10:15) For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me (10:16) Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war [are] against me (10:17) Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me! (10:18) I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave (10:19) [Are] not my days few? cease [then, and] let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, (10:20) Before I go [whence] I shall not return, [even] to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; (10:21) A land of darkness, as darkness [itself; and] of the shadow of death, without any order, and [where] the light [is] as darkness
(10:22)
