Job Desires Death

“Who will grant my wish?[a]
    I wish God would grant what I’m hoping for:
that God would just be willing[b] to crush me;
    that he would let loose[c] and eliminate me!
10 At least I could still take comfort
    and rejoice in unceasing anguish,
        for I didn’t conceal what the Holy One has to say.
