Job:6-7

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

bes@Job:6:2 @ Oh that one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, and take up my griefs in a balance together!

bes@Job:6:3 @ And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain.

bes@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.

bes@Job:6:5 @ What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has a fodder?

bes@Job:6:6 @ Shall bread be eaten without salt? or again, is there taste in empty words?

bes@Job:6:7 @ For my wrath cannot cease; for I perceive my food as the smell of a lion to be loathsome.

bes@Job:6:8 @ For oh that he would grant my desire, and my petition might come, and the Lord would grant my hope!

bes@Job:6:9 @ Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me.

bes@Job:6:10 @ Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not (note:)Gr. spare(:note) shrink from it; for I have not denied the holy words of my God.

bes@Job:6:11 @ For what is my strength, that I continue? what is my time, that my soul endures?

bes@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?

bes@Job:6:13 @ Or have I not trusted in him? but help is far from me.

bes@Job:6:14 @ Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of the Lord has disregarded me.

bes@Job:6:15 @ My nearest relations have not regarded me; they have passed me by like a failing (note:)Or, mountain-torrent(:note) brook, or like a wave.

bes@Job:6:16 @ They who used to reverence me, now have come against me like snow or congealed ice.

bes@Job:6:17 @ When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was.

bes@Job:6:18 @ Thus I also have been deserted of all; and I am ruined, and become an (note:)Or, homeless(:note) outcast.

bes@Job:6:19 @ Behold the ways of the Thaemanites, ye that mark the paths of the Sabaeans.

bes@Job:6:20 @ They too that trust in cities and riches shall come to shame.

bes@Job:6:21 @ But ye also have come to me without pity; so that beholding my wound ye are afraid.

bes@Job:6:22 @ What? have I made any demand of you? or do I ask for strength from you,

bes@Job:6:23 @ to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?

bes@Job:6:24 @ Teach ye me, and I will be silent: if in anything I have erred, tell me.

bes@Job:6:25 @ But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, (note:)Gr. for(:note) because I do not ask strength of you.

bes@Job:6:26 @ Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, for neither will I endure the sound of your speech.

bes@Job:6:27 @ Even because ye attack the fatherless, and insult your friend.

bes@Job:6:28 @ But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.

bes@Job:6:29 @ Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; and unite again with the just.

bes@Job:6:30 @ For there is no injustice in my tongue; and does not my throat meditate understanding?

bes@Job:7:1 @ Is not the life of man upon earth a state of trial? and his existence as that of a hireling by the day?

bes@Job:7:2 @ Or as a servant that fears his master, and one who has grasped a shadow? or as a hireling waiting for his pay?

bes@Job:7:3 @ So have I also endured months of vanity, and nights of pain have been appointed me.

bes@Job:7:4 @ Whenever I lie down, I say, When will it be day? and whenever I rise up, again I say when will it be evening? and I am full of pains from evening to morning.

bes@Job:7:5 @ And my body is covered with (note:)Gr. the corruption of worms(:note) loathsome worms; and I waste away, scraping off clods of dust from my eruption.

bes@Job:7:6 @ And my life is lighter than a word, and has perished in vain hope.

bes@Job:7:7 @ Remember then that my life is breath, and mine eye shalt not yet again see good.

bes@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him that sees me shall not see me again: thine eyes are upon me, and I am no more.

bes@Job:7:9 @ I am as a cloud that is cleared away from the sky: for if a man go down to the grave, he shall not come up again:

bes@Job:7:10 @ and he shall surely not return to his own house, neither shall his place know him any more.

bes@Job:7:11 @ Then neither will I refrain my mouth: I will speak being in distress; being in (note:)Gr. straits, etc.(:note) anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul.

bes@Job:7:12 @ Am I a sea, or a serpent, that thou hast set a watch over me?

bes@Job:7:13 @ I said that my bed should comfort me, and I would privately counsel with myself on my couch.

bes@Job:7:14 @ Thou scarest me with dreams, and dost terrify me with visions.

bes@Job:7:15 @ Thou wilt separate life from my spirit; and yet keep my bones from death.

bes@Job:7:16 @ For I shall not live for ever, that I should patiently endure: depart from me, for my life is vain.

bes@Job:7:17 @ For what is man, that thou hast magnified him? or that thou givest heed to him?

bes@Job:7:18 @ Wilt thou visit him till the morning, and judge him till the time of rest?

bes@Job:7:19 @ How long dost thou not let me alone, nor let me go, until I shall swallow down my spittle?

bes@Job:7:20 @ If I have sinned, what shall I be able to do, O thou that understandest the mind of men? why hast thou made me as thine accuser, and why am I a burden to thee?

bes@Job:7:21 @ Why hast thou not forgotten my iniquity, and purged my sin? but now I shall depart to the earth; and in the morning I am no more.

bes@Job:8:1 @ Then Baldad the Sauchite answered, and said,
