Job 6
But
Job
answered
and
said,
2 Oh
that
my
a
grief
were
throughly
weighed,
and
my
calamity
laid
in
the
balances
together!
3 For
now
it
would
be
heavier
than
the
sand
of
the
sea:
therefore
my
words
are
swallowed
up.
4 For
the
arrows
of
the
Almighty
are
within
me,
the
poison
whereof
drinketh
up
my
spirit:
the
terrors
of
God
do
set
themselves
in
array
against
me.
5 Doth
the
wild
ass
bray
when
he
hath
grass?
or
loweth
the
ox
over
his
fodder?
6 Can
that
which
is
unsavoury
be
eaten
without
salt?
or
is
there
any
taste
in
the
white
of
an
egg?
7 The
things
that
my
soul
refused
to
touch
are
as
my
sorrowful
meat.
8 Oh
that
I
might
have
my
request;
and
that
God
would
grant
me
the
thing
that
I
long
for!
9 Even
that
it
would
please
God
to
destroy
me;
that
he
would
let
loose
his
hand,
and
cut
me
off!
10 Then
should
I
yet
have
comfort;
yea,
I
would
harden
myself
in
sorrow:
let
him
not
spare;
for
I
have
not
concealed
the
words
of
the
Holy
One.
11 What
is
my
strength,
that
I
should
hope?
and
what
is
mine
end,
that
I
should
prolong
my
life?
12 Is
my
strength
the
strength
of
stones?
or
is
my
flesh
of
brass?
13 Is
not
my
help
in
me?
and
is
wisdom
driven
quite
from
me?
14 To
him
that
is
afflicted
a
pity
should
be
shewed
from
his
friend;
but
he
forsaketh
the
fear
of
the
Almighty.
15 My
brethren
have
dealt
deceitfully
as
a
brook,
and
as
the
stream
of
brooks
they
pass
away;
16 Which
are
blackish
by
reason
of
the
ice,
and
wherein
the
snow
is
hid:
17 What
time
they
wax
warm,
they
vanish:
when
it
is
hot,
they
are
consumed
out
of
their
place.
18 The
paths
of
their
way
are
turned
aside;
they
go
to
nothing,
and
perish.
19 The
a
troops
of
Tema
looked,
the
companies
of
Sheba
waited
for
them.
20 They
were
confounded
because
they
had
hoped;
they
came
thither,
and
were
ashamed.
21 For
now
ye
are
nothing;
ye
see
my
casting
down,
and
are
afraid.
22 Did
I
say,
a
Bring
unto
me?
or,
Give
a
reward
for
me
of
your
substance?
23 Or,
Deliver
me
from
the
enemy's
hand?
or,
Redeem
me
from
the
hand
of
the
mighty?
24 Teach
me,
and
I
will
hold
my
tongue:
and
cause
me
to
understand
wherein
I
have
erred.
25 How
forcible
are
right
words!
but
what
doth
your
arguing
reprove?
26 Do
ye
imagine
to
reprove
words,
and
the
speeches
of
one
that
is
desperate,
which
are
as
wind?
27 Yea,
ye
overwhelm
the
fatherless,
and
ye
dig
a
a
pit
for
your
friend.
28 Now
therefore
be
content,
look
upon
me;
for
it
is
evident
unto
you
if
I
lie.
29 Return,
I
pray
you,
let
it
not
be
iniquity;
yea,
return
again,
my
righteousness
is
in
it.
30 Is
there
iniquity
in
my
tongue?
cannot
my
taste
discern
perverse
things?
