Job 6:10

ComfortIntegrityHope

8 If only my request were granted and God would fulfill my hope:

9 that God would be willing to crush me, to unleash His hand and cut me off!

It still brings me comfort, and joy through unrelenting pain, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

11 What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What is my future, that I should be patient?

12 Is my strength like that of stone, or my flesh made of bronze?
