June 27, 2025, Job 10:1-22
10 “I loathe
my life;
I will give free utterance to my complaint;
I will
speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 I will say to God, Do not condemn me;
let me
know why you contend against me.
3 Does it seem good to you to oppress,
to
despise the work of your hands
and
favor the designs of the wicked?
4 Have you eyes of flesh?
Do you
see as man sees?
5 Are your days as the days of man,
or
your years as a man's years,
6 that you seek out my iniquity
and
search for my sin,
7 although you know that I am not guilty,
and there
is none to deliver out of your hand?
8 Your hands fashioned and made me,
and now
you have destroyed me altogether.
9 Remember that you have made me like clay;
and will
you return me to the dust?
10 Did you not pour me out like milk
and
curdle me like cheese?
11 You clothed me with skin and flesh,
and knit
me together with bones and sinews.
12 You have granted me life and steadfast love,
and your
care has preserved my spirit.
13 Yet these things you hid in your heart;
I know
that this was your purpose.
14 If I sin, you watch me
and do
not acquit me of my iniquity.
15 If I am guilty, woe to me!
If I
am in the right, I cannot lift up my head,
for I am filled with disgrace
and look
on my affliction.
16 And were my head lifted up, you would hunt me
like a lion
and
again work wonders against me.
17 You renew your witnesses against me
and
increase your vexation toward me;
you bring
fresh troops against me.
18 “Why did
you bring me out from the womb?
Would
that I had died before any eye had seen me
19 and were as though I had not been,
carried
from the womb to the grave.
20 Are not my days few?
Then
cease, and leave me alone, that I may find a little cheer
21 before I go—and I shall not return—
to the
land of darkness and deep shadow,
22 the land of gloom like thick darkness,
like
deep shadow without any order,
where
light is as thick darkness.”
How does
God handle your life’s darkest, most bitter moments?
Are you
able to find peace and comfort in His word as well as in your faith well lived?
