Job 10

1My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

נָקְטָה נַפְשִׁי בְּחַיָּי אֶעֶזְבָה עָלַי שִׂיחִי אֲדַבְּרָה בְּמַר נַפְשִׁי׃ (2051)

2I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.

אֹמַר אֶל־אֱלֹוהַּ אַל־תַּרְשִׁיעֵנִי הֹודִיעֵנִי עַל מַה־תְּרִיבֵנִי׃ (2357)

3Is 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?
