Job Despairs of God’s Dealings | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 "I loathe my own life; I will give full vent to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. | 1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. | 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. | 1 My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. | 1 My soul hath been weary of my life, I leave off my talking to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul. | 2 "I will say to God, 'Do not condemn me; Let me know why You contend with me. | 2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. | 2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me. | 2 I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so. | 2 I say unto God, 'Do not condemn me, Let me know why Thou dost strive with me. | 3 'Is it right for You indeed to oppress, To reject the labor of Your hands, And to look favorably on the schemes of the wicked? | 3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked? | 3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, That thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, And shine upon the counsel of the wicked? | 3 Doth it seem good to thee that thou shouldst calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked? | 3 Is it good for Thee that Thou dost oppress? That Thou despisest the labour of Thy hands, And on the counsel of the wicked hast shone? | 4 'Have You eyes of flesh? Or do You see as a man sees? | 4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth? | 4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? Or seest thou as man seeth? | 4 Hast thou eyes of flesh: or, shalt thou see as man seeth? | 4 Eyes of flesh hast Thou? As man seeth -- seest Thou? | 5 'Are Your days as the days of a mortal, Or Your years as man's years, | 5 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days, | 5 Are thy days as the days of man, Or thy years as man's days, | 5 Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men: | 5 As the days of man are Thy days? Thy years as the days of a man? | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 That You should seek for my guilt And search after my sin? | 6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin? | 6 That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, And searchest after my sin, | 6 That thou shouldst inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin? | 6 That Thou inquirest for mine iniquity, And for my sin seekest? | 7 'According to Your knowledge I am indeed not guilty, Yet there is no deliverance from Your hand. | 7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand. | 7 Although thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand? | 7 And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand. | 7 For Thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is no deliverer from Thy hand. | 8 'Your hands fashioned and made me altogether, And would You destroy me? | 8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. | 8 Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. | 8 Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and dost thou thus cast me down headlong on a sudden? | 8 Thy hands have taken pains about me, And they make me together round about, And Thou swallowest me up! | 9 'Remember now, that You have made me as clay; And would You turn me into dust again? | 9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? | 9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; And wilt thou bring me into dust again? | 9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and thou wilt bring me into dust again. | 9 Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And unto dust Thou dost bring me back. | 10 'Did You not pour me out like milk And curdle me like cheese; | 10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? | 10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese? | 10 Hast thou not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese? | 10 Dost Thou not as milk pour me out? And as cheese curdle me? | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews? | 11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. | 11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews. | 11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh: thou hast put me together with bones and sinews: | 11 Skin and flesh Thou dost put on me, And with bones and sinews dost fence me. | 12 'You have granted me life and lovingkindness; And Your care has preserved my spirit. | 12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. | 12 Thou hast granted me life and lovingkindness; And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. | 12 Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. | 12 Life and kindness Thou hast done with me. And Thy inspection hath preserved my spirit. | 13 'Yet these things You have concealed in Your heart; I know that this is within You: | 13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee. | 13 Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee: | 13 Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things. | 13 And these Thou hast laid up in Thy heart, I have known that this is with Thee. | 14 If I sin, then You would take note of me, And would not acquit me of my guilt. | 14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. | 14 If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. | 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? | 14 If I sinned, then Thou hast observed me, And from mine iniquity dost not acquit me, | 15 If I am wicked, woe to me! And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head. I am sated with disgrace and conscious of my misery. | 15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction; | 15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction. | 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. | 15 If I have done wickedly -- woe to me, And righteously -- I lift not up my head, Full of shame -- then see my affliction, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 Should my head be lifted up, You would hunt me like a lion; And again You would show Your power against me. | 16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me. | 16 And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me. | 16 And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning thou tormentest me wonderfully. | 16 And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me. | 17 'You renew Your witnesses against me And increase Your anger toward me; Hardship after hardship is with me. | 17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me. | 17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me. | 17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and multipliest thy wrath upon me, and pains war against me. | 17 Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare are with me. | 18 'Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Would that I had died and no eye had seen me! | 18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me! | 18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me. | 18 Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb: O that I had been consumed that eye might not see me! | 18 And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I expire, and the eye doth not see me. | 19 'I should have been as though I had not been, Carried from womb to tomb.' | 19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. | 19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. | 19 I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave. | 19 As I had not been, I am, From the belly to the grave I am brought, | 20 "Would He not let my few days alone? Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer | 20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, | 20 Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, | 20 Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little: | 20 Are not my days few? Cease then, and put from me, And I brighten up a little, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 Before I go-- and I shall not return-- To the land of darkness and deep shadow, | 21 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; | 21 Before I go whence I shall not return, Even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death; | 21 Before I go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death: | 21 Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and death-shade, | 22 The land of utter gloom as darkness itself, Of deep shadow without order, And which shines as the darkness." | 22 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness. | 22 The land dark as midnight, The land of the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight. | 22 A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth. | 22 A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade -- and no order, And the shining is as thick darkness.' |
