Job 10:11-22 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

11. Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh: thou hast put me together with bones and sinews:

12. Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

13. Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things.

14. If I have sinned and thou hast spared me for an hour: why dost thou not suffer me to be clean from my iniquity?

15. And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with affliction and misery.

16. And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning thou tormentest me wonderfully.

17. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and multipliest thy wrath upon me, and pains war against me.

18. Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb: O that I had been consumed that eye might not see me!

19. I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.

20. Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little:

21. Before I go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death:

22. A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth.
