Job 6:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ “I wish I could have what I’m asking for!
    I wish God would give me what I’m hoping for!
⁹ I wish he would crush me!
    I wish he would just cut off my life!
¹⁰ Then I’d still have one thing to comfort me.
    It would be that I haven’t said no to the Holy One’s commands.
    That would give me joy in spite of my pain that never ends.
