Job  


6 : 1 Then Job answered,
6 : 2 Oh that my grief were actually weighed And laid in the balances together with my calamity!
6 : 3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; Therefore my words have been rash.
6 : 4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, Their poison my spirit drinks; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.
6 : 5 Does the wild donkey bray over his grass, Or does the ox low over his fodder?
6 : 6 Can something tasteless be eaten without salt, Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
6 : 7 My soul refuses to touch them; They are like loathsome food to me.
6 : 8 Oh that my request might come to pass, And that God would grant my longing!
6 : 9 Would that God were willing to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!
6 : 10 But it is still my consolation, And I rejoice in unsparing pain, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
6 : 11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should endure?
6 : 12 Is my strength the strength of stones, Or is my flesh bronze?
6 : 13 Is it that my help is not within me, And that deliverance is driven from me?
6 : 14 For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend; So that he does not forsake the fear of the Almighty.
6 : 15 My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi, Like the torrents of wadis which vanish,
6 : 16 Which are turbid because of ice And into which the snow melts.
6 : 17 When they become waterless, they are silent, When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
6 : 18 The paths of their course wind along, They go up into nothing and perish.
6 : 19 The caravans of Tema looked, The travelers of Sheba hoped for them.
6 : 20 They were disappointed for they had trusted, They came there and were confounded.
6 : 21 Indeed, you have now become such, You see a terror and are afraid.
6 : 22 Have I said, `Give me something,` Or, `Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,`
6 : 23 Or, `Deliver me from the hand of the adversary,` Or, `Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants`?
6 : 24 Teach me, and I will be silent; And show me how I have erred.
6 : 25 How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?
6 : 26 Do you intend to reprove my words, When the words of one in despair belong to the wind?
6 : 27 You would even cast lots for the orphans And barter over your friend.
6 : 28 Now please look at me, And see if I lie to your face.
6 : 29 Desist now, let there be no injustice; Even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.
6 : 30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my palate discern calamities?
