Ezra 3
Ready to read
1
'Your hands have formed and made me altogether. Would You [turn around and] destroy me?
2
'Remember now, that You have made me as clay; So will You turn me into dust again?
3
'Have You not poured me out like milk And curdled me like cheese?
4
'[You have] clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews.
5
'You have granted me life and lovingkindness; And Your providence (divine care, supervision) has preserved my spirit.
6
'Yet these [present evils] You have hidden in Your heart [since my creation]: I know that this was within You [in Your purpose and thought].
7
'If I sin, then You would take note and observe me, And You would not acquit me of my guilt.
8
'If I am wicked, woe to me [for judgment comes]! And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head. For I am sated and filled with disgrace and the sight of my misery.
9
'Should I lift my head up, You would hunt me like a lion; And again You would show Your marvelous power against me.
10
'You renew Your witnesses against me And increase Your indignation and anger toward me; Hardship after hardship is with me [attacking me time after time].
11
'Why then did You bring me out of the womb? Would that I had perished and no eye had seen me!
12
'I should have been as though I had not existed; [I should have been] carried from the womb to the grave.'
13
"Would He not let my few days alone, Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer
