Job 10:3-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. Does it seem good to you, if you find fault with me and oppress me, the work of your own hands, and assist the counsel of the impious?

4. Do you have bodily eyes? Or, just as man sees, will you see?

5. Are your days just like the days of man, and are your years as the times of humans,

6. so that you would inquire about my iniquity and examine my sin?

7. And you know that I have done nothing impious, yet there is no one who can deliver from your hand.

8. Your hands have made me and formed me all around, and, in this way, do you suddenly throw me away?

9. Remember, I ask you, that you have fashioned me like clay, and you will reduce me to dust.

10. Have you not extracted me like milk and curdled me like cheese?

11. You have clothed me with skin and flesh. You have put me together with bones and nerves.

12. You have assigned to me life and mercy, and your visitation has preserved my spirit.

13. Though you may conceal this in your heart, yet I know that you remember everything.

14. If I have sinned, and you have spared me for an hour, why do you not endure me to be clean from my iniquity?

15. And if I should be impious, woe to me, and if I should be just, I will not lift up my head, being drenched with affliction and misery.
