Job:6-7
noyes@Job:6:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
noyes@Job:6:2 @ O that my grief were weighed thoroughly! That my calamities were put together in the balance!
noyes@Job:6:3 @ Surely they would be heavier than the sand of the sea; On this account were my words rash.
noyes@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; Their poison drinketh up my spirit; The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
noyes@Job:6:5 @ Doth the wild ass bray in the midst of grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
noyes@Job:6:6 @ Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg?
noyes@Job:6:7 @ That which my soul abhorreth to touch Hath become my loathsome food.
noyes@Job:6:8 @ O that I might have my request, And that God would grant me that which I long for!
noyes@Job:6:9 @ That it would please God to destroy me; That he would let loose his hand, and make an end of me!
noyes@Job:6:10 @ Yet it should still be my consolation, Yea, in unsparing anguish I would exult, That I have not denied the commands of the Holy One.
noyes@Job:6:11 @ What is my strength, that I should hope? And what mine end, that I should be patient?
noyes@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh brass?
noyes@Job:6:13 @ Alas, there is no help within me! Deliverance is driven from me!
noyes@Job:6:14 @ To the afflicted, kindness should be shown by a friend; Else he casteth off the fear of the Almighty.
noyes@Job:6:15 @ But my brethren are faithless like a brook; Like streams of the valley that pass away;
noyes@Job:6:16 @ Which are turbid by reason of the ice, And the snow, which hideth itself in them.
noyes@Job:6:17 @ As soon as they flow forth, they vanish; When the heat cometh, they are dried up from their place.
noyes@Job:6:18 @ The caravans turn aside to them on their way; They go up into the desert, and perish.
noyes@Job:6:19 @ The caravans of Tema look for them; The companies of Sheba expect to see them;
noyes@Job:6:20 @ They are ashamed that they have relied on them; They come to their place, and are confounded.
noyes@Job:6:21 @ So ye also are nothing; Ye see a terror, and shrink back.
noyes@Job:6:22 @ Have I said, Bring me gifts? Or, Give a present for me out of your substance?
noyes@Job:6:23 @ Or, Deliver me from the enemys hand? Or, Rescue me from the hand of the violent?
noyes@Job:6:24 @ Convince me, and I will hold my peace; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
noyes@Job:6:25 @ How powerful are the words of truth! But what do your reproaches prove?
noyes@Job:6:26 @ Do ye mean to censure words? The words of a man in despair are but wind.
noyes@Job:6:27 @ Truly ye spread a net for the fatherless; Ye dig a pit for your friend.
noyes@Job:6:28 @ Look now upon me, I pray you; For to your very face can I speak falsehood?
noyes@Job:6:29 @ Return, I pray, and let there be no unfairness; Yea, return; still is my cause righteous.
noyes@Job:6:30 @ Is there iniquity on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern what is sinful?
noyes@Job:7:1 @ Is there not a warservice for man on the earth? Are not his days as the days of a hireling?
noyes@Job:7:2 @ As a servant panteth for the shade, And as a hireling looketh for his wages,
noyes@Job:7:3 @ So am I made to possess months of affliction, And wearisome nights are appointed for me.
noyes@Job:7:4 @ If I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of restlessness until the dawning of the day.
noyes@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with worms, and clods of dust; My skin is broken and become loathsome.
noyes@Job:7:6 @ My days are swifter than a weavers shuttle; They pass away without hope.
noyes@Job:7:7 @ O remember that my life is a breath; That mine eye shall no more see good!
noyes@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more; Thine eyes shall look for me, but I shall not be.
noyes@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud dissolveth and wasteth away, So he that goeth down to the grave shall arise no more;
noyes@Job:7:10 @ No more shall he return to his house, And his dwellingplace shall know him no more.
noyes@Job:7:11 @ Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
noyes@Job:7:12 @ Am I a sea, or a seamonster, That thou settest a watch over me?
noyes@Job:7:13 @ When I say, My bed shall relieve me, My couch shall ease my complaint,
noyes@Job:7:14 @ Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me with visions;
noyes@Job:7:15 @ So that my soul chooseth strangling, Yea, death, rather than these my bones.
noyes@Job:7:16 @ I am wasting away; I shall not live alway: Let me alone, for my days are a vapor!
noyes@Job:7:17 @ What is man, that thou shouldst make great account him, And fix thy mind upon him?
noyes@Job:7:18 @ That thou shouldst visit him every morning, And prove him every moment?
noyes@Job:7:19 @ How long ere thou wilt look away from me, And let me alone, till I have time to breathe?
noyes@Job:7:20 @ If I have sinned, what have I done to thee, O thou watcher of men! Why hast thou set me up as thy mark, So that I have become a burden to myself?
noyes@Job:7:21 @ And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, And take away mine iniquity? (note:)(7:22)(:note) For soon shall I sleep in the dust; And, though thou seek me diligently, I shall not be.
noyes@Job:8:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
