Job 10:2

²³Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. ²⁴See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.

²⁹I will be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?

²Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.

¹LORD, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure. ²For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me. ³There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. ⁴For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me. ⁵My wounds are loathsome and corrupt because of my foolishness. ⁶I am in pain and bowed down greatly. I go mourning all day long. ⁷For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh. ⁸I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

¹There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

¹⁶The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned! ¹⁷For this our heart is faint. For these things our eyes are dim:

²¹But deal with me, GOD the Lord,^[+] for your name’s sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me;

¹LORD, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath. ²Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am faint. LORD, heal me, for my bones are troubled. ³My soul is also in great anguish. But you, LORD—how long? ⁴Return, LORD. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness’ sake.

³¹“For has any said to God, ‘I am guilty, but I will not offend any more. ³²Teach me that which I don’t see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?

⁵If you want to seek God diligently, make your supplication to the Almighty. ⁶If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
