Job 10

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 10 of 42

1 ¶ My soul loathes my life; I will leave my complaint on myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

2 I will say to God, Do not condemn me; make me know on what ground You contend with me.

3 Is it good to You that You should press on me, that You should despise the work of Your palms, and You shine on the counsel of the wicked ones?
