Job 6:2-10

2“If onlyH3863 my griefH3708 could be weighedH8254 and placedH5375 withH3162 my calamityH1962 on the scalesH3976.3ForH3588 thenH6258 it would outweighH3513 the sandH2344 of the seasH3220— no wonderH5921H3651 my wordsH1697 have been rashH3886.4ForH3588 the arrowsH2671 of the AlmightyH7706 have pierced meH5978; my spiritH7307 drinks inH8354 their poisonH2534; the terrorsH1161 of GodH433 are arrayed against meH6186.5Does a wild donkeyH6501 brayH5101 overH5921 fresh grassH1877, orH518 an oxH7794 lowH1600 overH5921 its fodderH1098?6Is tasteless foodH8602 eatenH398 withoutH1097 saltH4417, orH518 is thereH3426 flavorH2940 in the whiteH7388 of an eggH24951?7My soulH5315 refusesH3985 to touch themH5060; they areH1992 loathsomeH1741 food to meH3899.

8If onlyH4310H5414 my requestH7596 were grantedH935and GodH433 would fulfillH5414 my hopeH8615:9that GodH433 would be willingH2974 to crush meH1792,to unleashH5425 His handH3027 and cut me offH1214!10It stillH5750 brings meH1961 comfortH5165,and joyH5539 through unrelentingH3808H2550 painH2427,thatH3588 I have notH3808 deniedH3582the wordsH561 of the Holy OneH6918.
