Job

Job 10:8–11

⁸Your hands shaped me and altogether formed me.

Would You now turn and destroy me?

⁹Please remember that You molded me like clay.

Would You now return me to dust?

¹⁰Did You not pour me out like milk,

and curdle me like cheese?

¹¹You clothed me with skin and flesh,

and knit me together with bones and sinews.
