Job|6:1|-|Then Job |1|answered and said,
Job|6:2|-|Oh that my |1|vexation were weighed indeed,And that my ruin were lifted onto the scales together with it!
Job|6:3|-|For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas;Therefore my words have been rash.
Job|6:4|-|For the arrows of the Almighty are in me,The poison of which my spirit drinks up;
The terrors of God are arrayed against me.
Job|6:5|-|Does the wild ass bray over its grass?Or does the ox low over its fodder?
Job|6:6|-|Is what is savorless eaten without salt?Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Job|6:7|-|My soul refuses to touch them;They are like putrid food to me.
Job|6:8|-|Oh that I might have my request,And that God would grant me what I long for;
Job|6:9|-|That God would be willing to crush me;That He would release His hand and cut me off!
Job|6:10|-|Then there would still be comfort for me;And I would exult, even in writhing pain that does not spare,
That I did not |1|deny the words of the |a|Holy One.
Job|6:11|-|What is my strength, that I should wait?And what is my end, that I should be patient?
Job|6:12|-|Is my strength the strength of stones?Or is my flesh bronze?
Job|6:13|-|Is there any help for me at all within me,And has wisdom been driven away from me?
Job|6:14|-|To him who is fainting there should be kindness from his friend,Else he will forsake the fear of the Almighty.
Job|6:15|-|My brothers have dealt as treacherously as a desert |a|brook,As the rivulets of the desert brooks that pass away,
Job|6:16|-|Which are turbid because of the ice,And into which the snow hides itself.
Job|6:17|-|When they are scorched, they are completely consumed;When it is hot, they are dried up from their place.
Job|6:18|-|Caravans divert their ways for them;They go up into the waste and perish.
Job|6:19|-|The caravans of Tema look for them;The companies of Sheba long for them.
Job|6:20|-|They are put to shame because they are confident;They go there and are confounded.
Job|6:21|-|So now you have become such;You see a terrible thing and are afraid.
Job|6:22|-|Have I said, Give me something?Or, Pay a bribe for me out of your wealth?
Job|6:23|-|Or, Deliver me from the hand of the adversary?Or, From the hand of the oppressors redeem me?
Job|6:24|-|Teach me, and I will be silent;Cause me to understand how I have erred.
Job|6:25|-|How forceful are upright words!But what does this reproving from you reprove?
Job|6:26|-|Do you think you can reprove words?But the words of a desperate man are for the wind.
Job|6:27|-|You would even cast lots over the orphanAnd bargain over your friend.
Job|6:28|-|Now then be pleased to look upon me,For surely I will not lie to your face.
Job|6:29|-|Turn now; let there be no injustice.Indeed turn; my righteousness is still here.
Job|6:30|-|Is there any injustice on my tongue?Can my palate not discern calamities?
