Job 6




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

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

vw@Job:6:3 @ For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash.

vw@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.

vw@Job:6:5 @ Does the wild ass bray when it has grass, or does the ox low over its fodder?

vw@Job:6:6 @ Can something tasteless be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

vw@Job:6:7 @ My soul refuses to touch them; they are as sickening food.

vw@Job:6:8 @ Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant me the thing that I long for;

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

vw@Job:6:10 @ Then I would still have comfort; though in anguish, I would leap for joy; let Him not spare; for I have not hidden the Words of the Holy One.

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

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

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

vw@Job:6:14 @ To him who is despairing, kindness should be shown by his friend; but he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

vw@Job:6:15 @ My brothers have dealt deceitfully. Like a brook, like the streams of the brooks, they pass away;

vw@Job:6:16 @ which are dark because of the ice, and into which the snow vanishes.

vw@Job:6:17 @ When it is warm, they stop flowing; when it is hot, they dry up from their place.

vw@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their journey are winding; they go into nothingness and vanish.

vw@Job:6:19 @ The wanderers of Tema have paid attention; the travelers of Sheba have looked for them.

vw@Job:6:20 @ They are disappointed because they had been confident, but when they had come there they were abashed.

vw@Job:6:21 @ Surely now you are nothing; you see terror and are afraid.

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

vw@Job:6:23 @ Or, Deliver me from the hand of the adversary? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

vw@Job:6:24 @ Teach me, and I will keep silent; cause me to understand in what way I have erred.

vw@Job:6:25 @ Right words are grievous, but what does your rebuke prove?

vw@Job:6:26 @ Do you intend to rebuke the words and the speeches of one in despair, as wind?

vw@Job:6:27 @ Yea, you throw down the fatherless, and dig a pit for your friend.

vw@Job:6:28 @ Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; for my face will tell if I am lying.

vw@Job:6:29 @ Turn back, let there be no injustice! Yea, turn back; my righteousness still stands!

vw@Job:6:30 @ Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern calamity?
