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

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

 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?*

 4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

 5 *Are* thy days as the days of man? *are* thy years as man’s days,

 6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?

 7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and *there is* none that can deliver out of thine hand.*

 8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.*

 9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

 10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

 11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.*

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

 13 And these *things* hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this *is* with thee.

 14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

 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;

 16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

 17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war *are* against 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!

 19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

 20 *Are* not my days few? cease *then, and* let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

 21 Before I go *whence* I shall not return, *even* to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

 22 A land of darkness, as darkness *itself; and* of the shadow of death, without any order, and *where* the light *is* as darkness.
 
[Job 9](/study/job/9) [Job 11](/study/job/11)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
So the sense is, My soul is weary of dwelling in this rotten and miserable carcass. Or, I am from my heart, or with my very soul, weary of my life; and therefore I may be excused if I complain. Or, 

**My soul is cut off while I live,**i.e. I am dead whilst I live; I am in a manner buried alive. 

**I will leave my complaint upon myself:** so the sense is, I will complain, and the burden or hazard of so doing I will take upon myself, and be willing to bear it; I must give my sorrows vent, *let come on me what will*, as he saith, [Job 13:13](/kjv/job/13/13). But the words may be read interrogatively, *Shall I then* (or how *can I* then) leave my complaint (i.e. give over complaining) *within* or *concerning* (as the Hebrew *al* oft signifies) *myself*? Or they may be rendered thus, *I will strengthen* (as this verb signifies, [Nehemiah 3:8](/kjv/nehemiah/3/8)) *my complaint against myself*; whereby he implies that he would not complain against God so as to accuse him of injustice, but only against himself, or against his own life; or, *concerning myself*, i.e. I must renew and increase my complaints, as God renews and increases my sorrows. 

**I will speak in the bitterness of my soul;**my extreme misery forceth my complaints from me.
