nkjv@Job:6:1 @ Then Job answered and said:

nkjv@Job:6:2 @ "Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, And my calamity laid with it on the scales!

nkjv@Job:6:3 @ For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea-- Therefore my words have been rash.

nkjv@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; My spirit drinks in their poison; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.

nkjv@Job:6:5 @ Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass, Or does the ox low over its fodder?

nkjv@Job:6:6 @ Can flavorless food be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

nkjv@Job:6:7 @ My soul refuses to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me.

nkjv@Job:6:8 @ "Oh, that I might have my request, That God would grant me the thing that I long for!

nkjv@Job:6:9 @ That it would please God to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!

nkjv@Job:6:10 @ Then I would still have comfort; Though in anguish I would exult, He will not spare; For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

nkjv@Job:6:11 @ "What strength do I have, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?

nkjv@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?

nkjv@Job:6:13 @ Is my help not within me? And is success driven from me?

nkjv@Job:6:14 @ "To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

nkjv@Job:6:15 @ My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,

nkjv@Job:6:16 @ Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes.

nkjv@Job:6:17 @ When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.

nkjv@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their way turn aside, They go nowhere and perish.

nkjv@Job:6:19 @ The caravans of Tema look, The travelers of Sheba hope for them.

nkjv@Job:6:20 @ They are disappointed because they were confident; They come there and are confused.

nkjv@Job:6:21 @ For now you are nothing, You see terror and are afraid.

nkjv@Job:6:22 @ Did I ever say, "Bring something to me'? Or, "Offer a bribe for me from your wealth'?

nkjv@Job:6:23 @ Or, "Deliver me from the enemy's hand'? Or, "Redeem me from the hand of oppressors'?

nkjv@Job:6:24 @ "Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

nkjv@Job:6:25 @ How forceful are right words! But what does your arguing prove?

nkjv@Job:6:26 @ Do you intend to rebuke my words, And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?

nkjv@Job:6:27 @ Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, And you undermine your friend.

nkjv@Job:6:28 @ Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; For I would never lie to your face.

nkjv@Job:6:29 @ Yield now, let there be no injustice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!

nkjv@Job:6:30 @ Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern the unsavory?
