Job 10:13-22 - You Have Not Explained

¹³ “Yet You concealed these thoughts in Your heart;
I know that this was Your hidden plan:
¹⁴ if I sin, You would notice,
and would not acquit me of my wrongdoing.
¹⁵ If I am wicked, woe to me!
And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.
I am filled with shame
and aware of my affliction.
¹⁶ If I am proud, You hunt me like a lion
and again display Your miraculous power against me.
¹⁷ You produce new witnesses against me
and multiply Your anger toward me.
Hardships assault me, wave after wave.

¹⁸ “Why did You bring me out of the womb?
I should have died and never been seen.
¹⁹ I wish I had never existed
but had been carried from the womb to the grave.
²⁰ Are my days not few? Stop it!
Leave me alone, so that I can smile a little
²¹ before I go to a land of darkness and gloom,
never to return.
²² It is a land of blackness like the deepest darkness,
gloomy and chaotic,
where even the light is like the darkness.”
