Job 6:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ “How I wish that I might have what I ask for
    and that God would give me what I hope for.
⁹ How I wish God would crush me
    and reach out his hand to destroy me.
¹⁰ Then I would have this comfort
    and be glad even in this unending pain,
    because I would know I did not reject the words of the Holy One.
