Job 6:8-13 (Listen)

8 “Oh that I might have my request,

and that God would fulfill my hope,

9 that it would bplease God to crush me,

that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!

10 This would be my comfort;

I would even exult1 in pain cunsparing,

for I have not denied the words of dthe Holy One.

11 What is my strength, that I should wait?

And what is my end, that I should be patient?

12 Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?

13 Have I any help in me,

when resource is driven from me?

[1] 6:10 The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain
