Douay Bible - Job Chapter 10

Job 10:1
My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

Job 10:2
I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so.

Job 10:3
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?

Job 10:4
Hast thou eyes of flesh: or, shalt thou see as man seeth?

Job 10:5
Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men:

Job 10:6
That thou shouldst inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?

Job 10:7
And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand.

Job 10:8
Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and dost thou thus cast me down headlong on a sudden?

Job 10:9
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and thou wilt bring me into dust again.

Job 10:10
Hast thou not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

Job 10:11
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh: thou hast put me together with bones and sinews:

Job 10:12
Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

Job 10:13
Although thou conceal these things in thy heart, yet I know that thou rememberest all things.

Job 10:14
If I have sinned and thou hast spared me for an hour: why dost thou not suffer me to be clean from my iniquity?

Job 10:15
And if I be wicked, woe unto me: and if just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with affliction and misery.

Job 10:16
And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning thou tormentest me wonderfully.

Job 10:17
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and multipliest thy wrath upon me, and pains war against me.

Job 10:18
Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb: O that I had been consumed that eye might not see me!

Job 10:19
I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.

Job 10:20
Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little:

Job 10:21
Before I go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death:

Job 10:22
A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe
