Job  


6 : 1 Then Job replied:
6 : 2 If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales!
6 : 3 It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas-- no wonder my words have been impetuous.
6 : 4 The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God`s terrors are marshaled against me.
6 : 5 Does a wild donkey bray when it has grass, or an ox bellow when it has fodder?
6 : 6 Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg ?
6 : 7 I refuse to touch it; such food makes me ill.
6 : 8 Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,
6 : 9 that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut me off!
6 : 10 Then I would still have this consolation-- my joy in unrelenting pain-- that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.
6 : 11 What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should be patient?
6 : 12 Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze?
6 : 13 Do I have any power to help myself, now that success has been driven from me?
6 : 14 A despairing man should have the devotion of his friends, even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
6 : 15 But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflow
6 : 16 when darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow,
6 : 17 but that cease to flow in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels.
6 : 18 Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go up into the wasteland and perish.
6 : 19 The caravans of Tema look for water, the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope.
6 : 20 They are distressed, because they had been confident; they arrive there, only to be disappointed.
6 : 21 Now you too have proved to be of no help; you see something dreadful and are afraid.
6 : 22 Have I ever said, `Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth,
6 : 23 deliver me from the hand of the enemy, ransom me from the clutches of the ruthless`?
6 : 24 Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.
6 : 25 How painful are honest words! But what do your arguments prove?
6 : 26 Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?
6 : 27 You would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter away your friend.
6 : 28 But now be so kind as to look at me. Would I lie to your face?
6 : 29 Relent, do not be unjust; reconsider, for my integrity is at stake.
6 : 30 Is there any wickedness on my lips? Can my mouth not discern malice?
