Job:6




jub@Job:6:1 @ And Job answered and said,

jub@Job:6:2 @ Oh that my grief and calamity were justly weighed and laid equally in the balances!

jub@Job:6:3 @ For it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore, my words are swallowed up.

jub@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty [are] within me; my spirit drinks of the poison; and terrors of God combat me.

jub@Job:6:5 @ Does the wild ass bray when he has grass? Does the ox low over his fodder?

jub@Job:6:6 @ Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? Or is there [any] taste in the white of an egg?

jub@Job:6:7 @ The things [that] my soul refused to touch [before, now] by my sorrow [are] my food.

jub@Job:6:8 @ Oh, that I might have my request and that God would grant [me] the thing that I long for!

jub@Job:6:9 @ Even that it would please God to destroy me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!

jub@Job:6:10 @ Then should my comfort grow; I would hold on to sorrow without mercy; for I have not contradicted the words of the Holy One.

jub@Job:6:11 @ What [is] my strength that I should hope? What [is] my end that I should prolong my life?

jub@Job:6:12 @ [Is] my strength the strength of stones? Or [is] my flesh of steel?

jub@Job:6:13 @ Am I not doing all that I can, and [even with all this] I lack the power to do anything?

jub@Job:6:14 @ He that is afflicted [deserves] mercy from his friend; but he has forsaken the fear of the Almighty.

jub@Job:6:15 @ My brethren have lied to me as a brook; they passed away as an impetuous stream,

jub@Job:6:16 @ which was hidden by ice and covered by snow.

jub@Job:6:17 @ Which in the time of heat, they vanish; when they are heated, they disappear out of their place;

jub@Job:6:18 @ they turn aside out of the paths of their way; they go to nothing and perish.

jub@Job:6:19 @ The travelers of Tema looked; the traveling companies of Sheba waited for them.

jub@Job:6:20 @ They were put to shame because of their hope; they came there and found them confused.

jub@Job:6:21 @ Now ye are certainly as they; ye have seen the torment and are afraid.

jub@Job:6:22 @ Did I say, Bring unto me and pay for me out of your substance

jub@Job:6:23 @ and deliver me from the enemy's hand and ransom me from the hand of the mighty?

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

jub@Job:6:25 @ How forcible are the words of rectitude! But what does your argument reprove?

jub@Job:6:26 @ Are ye not thinking up words of reproof and [throw] to the wind words that are lost?

jub@Job:6:27 @ Ye also overwhelm the fatherless and dig a pit before your friend.

jub@Job:6:28 @ Now, therefore, if ye desire, look upon me and [see] if I shall lie in your presence.

jub@Job:6:29 @ Turn now, and there is no iniquity; return again [to look] for my righteousness in this.

jub@Job:6:30 @ If there is iniquity in my tongue or if my taste cannot discern the torments.:
