Job 10:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ If I have any success and feel proud,
    you hunt me down like a lion
    and show your power over me.
¹⁷ You bring witness after witness
    to prove that I am wrong.
Again and again you show your anger
    as you send army after army against me.
¹⁸ So why did you let me be born?
    I wish I had died before anyone saw me.
