My soulH5315 is wearyH5354 of my lifeH2416; I will leaveH5800 my complaintH7879 upon myself; I will speakH1696 in the bitternessH4751 of my soulH5315. {weary…: or, cut off while I live}
I will sayH559 unto GodH433, Do not condemnH7561 me; shewH3045 me wherefore thou contendestH7378 with me.
Is it goodH2895 unto thee that thou shouldest oppressH6231, that thou shouldest despiseH3988 the workH3018 of thine handsH3709, and shineH3313 upon the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563? {work: Heb. labour}
Hast thou eyesH5869 of fleshH1320? or seestH7200 thou as manH582 seethH7200?
Are thy daysH3117 as the daysH3117 of manH582? are thy yearsH8141 as man'sH1397 daysH3117,
That thou enquirestH1245 after mine iniquityH5771, and searchestH1875 after my sinH2403?
Thou knowestH1847 that I am not wickedH7561; and there is none that can deliverH5337 out of thine handH3027. {Thou…: Heb. It is upon thy knowledge}
Thine handsH3027 have madeH6087 me and fashionedH6213 me togetherH3162 round aboutH5439; yet thou dost destroyH1104 me. {have…: Heb. took pains about me}
RememberH2142, I beseech thee, that thou hast madeH6213 me as the clayH2563; and wilt thou bringH7725 me into dustH6083 againH7725?
Hast thou not poured me outH5413 as milkH2461, and curdledH7087 me like cheeseH1385?
Thou hast clothedH3847 me with skinH5785 and fleshH1320, and hast fencedH7753 me with bonesH6106 and sinewsH1517. {fenced: Heb. hedged}
Thou hast grantedH6213 me lifeH2416 and favourH2617, and thy visitationH6486 hath preservedH8104 my spiritH7307.
And these things hast thou hidH6845 in thine heartH3824: I knowH3045 that this is with thee.
If I sinH2398, then thou markestH8104 me, and thou wilt not acquitH5352 me from mine iniquityH5771.
If I be wickedH7561, woeH480 unto me; and if I be righteousH6663, yet will I not lift upH5375 my headH7218. I am fullH7649 of confusionH7036; therefore seeH7202+H7200 thou mine afflictionH6040;
For it increasethH1342. Thou huntestH6679 me as a fierce lionH7826: and againH7725 thou shewest thyself marvellousH6381 upon me.
Thou renewestH2318 thy witnessesH5707 against me, and increasestH7235 thine indignationH3708 upon meH5978; changesH2487 and warH6635 are against me. {witnesses: that is, thy plagues}
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forthH3318 out of the wombH7358? Oh that I had given up the ghostH1478, and no eyeH5869 had seenH7200 me!
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carriedH2986 from the wombH990 to the graveH6913.
Are not my daysH3117 fewH4592? ceaseH2308+H2308 then, and let me aloneH7896+H7896, that I may take comfortH1082 a littleH4592,
Before I goH3212 whence I shall not returnH7725, even to the landH776 of darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757;
A landH776 of darknessH5890, as darknessH652 itself; and of the shadow of deathH6757, without any orderH5468, and where the lightH3313 is as darknessH652.

JOD. Thy handsH3027 have madeH6213 me and fashionedH3559 me: give me understandingH995, that I may learnH3925 thy commandmentsH4687.
Is it goodH2895 unto thee that thou shouldest oppressH6231, that thou shouldest despiseH3988 the workH3018 of thine handsH3709, and shineH3313 upon the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563? {work: Heb. labour}
Even every oneH3605 that is calledH7121 by my nameH8034: for I have createdH1254 him for my gloryH3519, I have formedH3335 him; yea, I have madeH6213 him.
And it repentedH5162 the LORDH3068 that he had madeH6213 manH120 on the earthH776, and it grievedH6087 him atH413 his heartH3820.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will destroyH4229 manH120 whom I have createdH1254 from the faceH6440 of the earthH127; both manH120, andH5704 beastH929, and the creeping thingH7431, and the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064; for it repentethH5162 me that I have madeH6213 them. {both…: Heb. from man unto beast}
Then I went downH3381 to the potter'sH3335 houseH1004, and, beholdH2009, he wroughtH6213 a workH4399 on the wheelsH70. {wheels: or, frames, or, seats}
And the vesselH3627 that he madeH6213 of clayH2563 was marredH7843 in the handH3027 of the potterH3335: so he madeH6213 it againH7725 anotherH312 vesselH3627, as seemedH5869 goodH3474 to the potterH3335 to makeH6213 it. {of clay…: or, was marred, as clay in the hand of the potter} {made it…: Heb. returned and made, etc}
Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559,
O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, cannotH3201 I doH6213 with you as this potterH3335? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Behold, as the clayH2563 is in the potter'sH3335 handH3027, so are ye in mine handH3027, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
At what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to pluck upH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6 it;
If that nationH1471, against whom I have pronouncedH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 unto them.
And at what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it;
If it doH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, that it obeyH8085 not my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, wherewith I saidH559 I would benefitH3190 them.
