욥10:1 욥의 기도
10:1"My soul is weary of my life;
I will give free course to my complaint.
I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
10:2I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me,
Show me why you contend with me.
10:3Is 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?
10:4Do you have eyes of flesh?
Or do you see as man sees?
10:5Are your days as the days of mortals,
Or your years as man's years,
10:6That you inquire after my iniquity,
And search after my sin?
10:7Although you know that I am not wicked,
There is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
10:8'Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether;
Yet you destroy me.
10:9Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay.
Will you bring me into dust again?
10:10Haven't you poured me out like milk,
And curdled me like cheese?
10:11You have clothed me with skin and flesh,
And knit me together with bones and sinews.
10:12You have granted me life and lovingkindness.
Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
10:13Yet you hid these things in your heart.
I know that this is with you:
10:14If I sin, then you mark me.
You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
10:15If I am wicked, woe to me.
If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head,
Being filled with disgrace,
And conscious of my affliction.
10:16If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion.
Again you show yourself powerful to me.
10:17You renew your witnesses against me,
And increase your indignation on me.
Changes and warfare are with me.
10:18"'Why, then, have you brought me forth out of the womb?
I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
10:19I should have been as though I had not been.
I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
10:20Aren't my days few? Cease then,
Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
10:21Before I go where I shall not return from,
To the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
10:22The land dark as midnight,
Of the shadow of death, without any order,
Where the light is as midnight.'"
