Job 6:9

⁷ My soul refuses to touch them; they are loathsome food to me.

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

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

¹⁰ 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?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
