Job 10:2
1 “I loathe my own life; I will express my complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.
I will say to God: Do not condemn me! Let me know why You prosecute me.
3 Does it please You to oppress me, to reject the work of Your hands and favor the schemes of the wicked?
4 Do You have eyes of flesh? Do You see as man sees?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
