Job 6:9
8 “Oh that my request would be realized, and that God would grant me what I long for! 9 And that God would be willing to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and kill me. 10 Then I would yet have my comfort, then I would rejoice, in spite of pitiless pain, for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
LXX Job 6:9
8 For if only he should concede, and my request should come, and the Lord should grant my hope. 9 Having already started, may the Lord wound me but not finally destroy me. 10 But may my city upon whose walls I have leapt on it, be a grave. I will not refrain, for I have not denied the holy words of my God.
Notes and References
"... The translator of Job moderates harsh sounding descriptions. In Job 6:9 the Masoretic text reads, “that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!” The Septuagint reads: “Let the Lord begin by wounding me but let him not kill me outright.” The Masoretic text of Job 10:2–3 reads: “Do not condemn me; let me know why you contend against me. Does it seem good to you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands and favor the schemes of the wicked?”. LXX Job 10:2–3 reads: “Do not teach me to be impious, and why did you judge me like this? Does it seem good to you, if I be in the wrong, that you despise the work of your hands but favored the advice of the impious?” ..."
