Job 33:10

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

Behold, he finds occasions against me, he counts me as his enemy;

See the chapter Copy

He has kindled his wrath against me, and counts me as his adversary.

For Job has said, ‘I am innocent, and God has taken away my right;

Oh, that I had one to hear me! (Here is my signature! let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!

Thou hast turned cruel to me; with the might of thy hand thou dost persecute me.

He has torn me in his wrath, and hated me; he has gnashed his teeth at me; my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.

For then thou wouldest number my steps, thou wouldest not keep watch over my sin;

For he crushes me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause;

I become afraid of all my suffering, for I know thou wilt not hold me innocent.

I shall be condemned; why then do I labor in vain?
