Job 9:27

Tree of Life Version

If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face and be cheerful,’

See the chapter Copy

When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,’

My joy is overcome by grief, my heart is faint within me.

“So I will not keep silent; I will speak in the distress of my spirit, I will complain in bitterness of soul.

“Yet, if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain, does it not go away from me?

Give ear, O God, to my prayer and do not ignore my plea for help.
