Job:6-7
gltv@Job:6:1 @ And answered and said:
gltv@Job:6:2 @ Oh that my vexation were carefully weighed, and my ruin lifted in the balances together!
gltv@Job:6:3 @ For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; on account of this my words have been rash.
gltv@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; their fury is drinking my spirit; the terrors of God are set against me.
gltv@Job:6:5 @ Does the wild ass bray over tender grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
gltv@Job:6:6 @ Are tasteless things eaten without salt? Or is there taste in the slime of an egg?
gltv@Job:6:7 @ My soul refuses to touch them; they are sickening food to me.
gltv@Job:6:8 @ Who will give it that my desire might come, and God would grant my longing;
gltv@Job:6:9 @ and God would be willing and crush me; let loose His hand and cut me off?
gltv@Job:6:10 @ And it is yet my comfort; and I would exult in pain not spared; for I have not hidden the words of the Holy One.
gltv@Job:6:11 @ What is my strength that I should wait? And what is my end that I should prolong my life?
gltv@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?
gltv@Job:6:13 @ Is not my help within me? And is wisdom driven from me?
gltv@Job:6:14 @ To the faint, mercy is due from his friend; for he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
gltv@Job:6:15 @ My brothers have dealt deceitfully, like the torrent; like the streams of torrents, they vanish;
gltv@Job:6:16 @ those darkened from ice, in which the snow hides itself.
gltv@Job:6:17 @ At the time they are warmed, they are cut off; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
gltv@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their way bend; they go to nothing, and are lost.
gltv@Job:6:19 @ The troops of Tema looked; the travelers of Sheba hoped for them;
gltv@Job:6:20 @ they were ashamed because they had hoped; they came there, and were ashamed.
gltv@Job:6:21 @ Surely now you have become like it; you see my dismay, and are afraid.
gltv@Job:6:22 @ Did I indeed say, Give to me? Or, offer a bribe for me from your wealth?
gltv@Job:6:23 @ Or, Deliver me from a foe's hand? Or, Redeem me from the oppressors hand?
gltv@Job:6:24 @ Teach me, and I will be silent; and cause me to understand in what I have erred.
gltv@Job:6:25 @ Right words are powerful, but what does your arguing argue?
gltv@Job:6:26 @ Do you intend to criticize words, and the speeches of one who is hopeless, that are as wind?
gltv@Job:6:27 @ Yea, you cause even an orphan to fall; and you bargain over your friend.
gltv@Job:6:28 @ And now, please look on me. For if I lie, it is before your face.
gltv@Job:6:29 @ Turn back, I beseech you; let there be no wrong. Yea, return again, for my righteousness is in it.
gltv@Job:6:30 @ Is there wrong in my tongue? Cannot my palate discern desirable things?
gltv@Job:7:1 @ Is there not a warfare to man on earth? And his days like the days of a hireling?
gltv@Job:7:2 @ As a servant pants for the shade, and as a hireling looks for his wages,
gltv@Job:7:3 @ so I am caused to inherit months of vanity; and weary nights are appointed to me.
gltv@Job:7:4 @ When I lie down, I say, When shall I rise up? But the night is long, and I am full of tossings, until the twilight of the dawn.
gltv@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and it runs afresh.
gltv@Job:7:6 @ My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are ended without hope.
gltv@Job:7:7 @ Remember that my life is a breath; my eyes shall not return to see good.
gltv@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him who sees me shall gaze at me no more; Your eyes are on me, and I am not.
gltv@Job:7:9 @ As the clouds fade and vanish, so he who goes down to Sheol shall not come up.
gltv@Job:7:10 @ He shall return no more to his house; nor shall his place know him any more.
gltv@Job:7:11 @ Therefore, I will not hold my mouth; I will speak in the distress of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
gltv@Job:7:12 @ Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that You set a watch over me?
gltv@Job:7:13 @ When I say, My bed shall comfort me my couch shall ease my complaint,
gltv@Job:7:14 @ then You scare me with dreams, and terrify me with visions;
gltv@Job:7:15 @ so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than my bones.
gltv@Job:7:16 @ I despise them; I will not live always. Let me alone, for my days are vanity.
gltv@Job:7:17 @ What is man, that You should magnify him, and that You should set Your heart on him,
gltv@Job:7:18 @ and visit him every morning, trying him every moment?
gltv@Job:7:19 @ How long will You not look away from me, nor leave me alone until I swallow down my spittle?
gltv@Job:7:20 @ I have sinned; what do I do to You, O Watcher of man? Why have You set me as a target for You, so that I am a burden on myself?
gltv@Job:7:21 @ And why do You not pardon my transgression, and make my iniquity pass away? For now I shall lie down in the dust, and You shall seek me; but I will not be.
