Job 6:9
Compare all
7 My soul refuses to touch them;
They are as loathsome food to me.
8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
That God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 That it would please God to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and acut me off! 
10 Then I would still have comfort;
Though in anguish I would exult,
He will not spare;
For aI have not concealed the words of bthe Holy One. 
11 “What strength do I have, that I should hope?
And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh bronze?
