Bible verse
that God would be willing to crush me, to unleash His hand and cut me off!
Job 6:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 6.
5 Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass, or an ox low over its fodder?
6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg?
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:
9 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?
12 Is my strength like that of stone, or my flesh made of bronze?
13 Is there any help within me now that success is driven from me?
