Job 6:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁸ ‘O that I might have my request,
    and that God would grant my desire;
⁹ that it would please God to crush me,
    that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
¹⁰ This would be my consolation;
    I would even exult^[a] in unrelenting pain;
    for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
