drb - Job:6-7

drb@Job:6:1 @But Job answered, and said:

drb@Job:6:2 @O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, and the calamity that I suffer, were weighed in a balance.

drb@Job:6:3 @As the sand of the sea this would appear heavier: therefore my words are full of sorrow:

drb@Job:6:4 @For the arrows of the Lord are in me, the rage whereof drinketh up my spirit, and the terrors of the Lord war against me.

drb@Job:6:5 @Will the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or will the ox low when he standeth before a full manger?

drb@Job:6:6 @Or can an unsavoury thing be eaten, that is not seasoned with salt? or can a man taste that which when tasted bringeth death?

drb@Job:6:7 @The things which before my soul would not touch, now, through anguish are my meats.

drb@Job:6:8 @Who will grant that my request may come: and that God may give me what I look for?

drb@Job:6:9 @And that he that hath begun may destroy me, that he may let loose his hand, and cut me off?

drb@Job:6:10 @And that this may be my comfort, that afflicting me with sorrow, he spare not, nor I contradict the words of the Holy One.

drb@Job:6:11 @For what is my strength, that I can hold out? or what is my end that I should keep patience?

drb@Job:6:12 @My strength is not the strength of stones, nor is my flesh of brass.

drb@Job:6:13 @Behold there is no help for me in myself, and my familiar friends also are departed from me.

drb@Job:6:14 @He that taketh away mercy from his friend, forsaketh the fear of the Lord

drb@Job:6:15 @My brethren have passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the valleys.

drb@Job:6:16 @They that fear the hoary frost, the snow shall fall upon them.

drb@Job:6:17 @At the time when they shall be scattered they shall perish: and after it groweth hot they shall be melted out of their place.

drb@Job:6:18 @The paths of their steps are entangled: they shall walk in vain, and shall perish.

drb@Job:6:19 @Consider the paths of Thema, the ways of Saba, and wait a little while.

drb@Job:6:20 @They are confounded, because I have hoped: they are come also even unto me, and are covered with shame.

drb@Job:6:21 @Now you are come: and now seeing my affliction you are afraid.

drb@Job:6:22 @Did I say: Bring to me, and give me of your substance?

drb@Job:6:23 @Or deliver me from the hand of the enemy, and rescue me out of the hand of the mighty?

drb@Job:6:24 @Teach me, and I will hold my peace: and if I have been ignorant in any thing, instruct me.

drb@Job:6:25 @Why have you detracted the words of truth, whereas there is none of you that can reprove me?

drb@Job:6:26 @You dress up speeches only to rebuke, and you utter words to the wind.

drb@Job:6:27 @You rush in upon the fatherless, and you endeavour to overthrow your friend.

drb@Job:6:28 @However finish what you have begun, give ear, and see whether I lie.

drb@Job:6:29 @Answer, I beseech you, without contention: and speaking that which is just, judge ye.

drb@Job:6:30 @And you shall not And iniquity in my tongue, neither shall folly sound in my mouth.

drb@Job:7:1 @The life of man upon earth is a warfare, and his days are like the days of a hireling.

drb@Job:7:2 @As a servant longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work;

drb@Job:7:3 @So I also have had empty months, and have numbered to myself wearisome nights.

drb@Job:7:4 @If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall arise? and again I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness.

drb@Job:7:5 @My flesh is clothed with rottenness and the filth of dust, my skin is withered and drawn together.

drb@Job:7:6 @My days have passed more swiftly than the web is cut by the weaver, and are consumed without any hope.

drb@Job:7:7 @Remember that my life is but wind, and my eyes shall not return to see good things.

drb@Job:7:8 @Nor shall the sight of man behold me: thy eyes are upon me, and I shall be no more.

drb@Job:7:9 @As a cloud is consumed, and passeth away: so he that shall go down to hell shall not come up.

drb@Job:7:10 @Nor shall he return my more into his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

drb@Job:7:11 @Wherefore I will not spare my month, I will speak in the affliction of my spirit: I will talk with the bitterness of my soul.

drb@Job:7:12 @Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison?

drb@Job:7:13 @If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved speaking with myself on my couch:

drb@Job:7:14 @Thou wilt frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions.

drb@Job:7:15 @So that my soul rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death.

drb@Job:7:16 @I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing

drb@Job:7:17 @What is a man that thou shouldst magnify him? or why dost thou set thy heart upon him?

drb@Job:7:18 @Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly.

drb@Job:7:19 @How long wilt thou not spare me, nor suffer me to swallow down my spittle?

drb@Job:7:20 @I have sinned: what shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? why hast thou set me opposite to thee, and I am become burdensome to myself?

drb@Job:7:21 @Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold now I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be.
