Job 6

Darby Bible

1And JobH347 answered and saidH559, 2Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighedH8254, and all my calamity laid in the balances! 3For nowH6258 it would be heavierH3513 than the sandH2344 of the seasH3220; thereforeH3651 my wordsH1697 are vehement. 4For the arrowsH2671 of the AlmightyH7706 are within me, their poison drinketh up my spiritH7307: the terrorsH1161 of 1GodH433 are arrayed against me. 5Doth the wildH6501 ass brayH5101 by the grassH1877? loweth an oxH7794 over his fodderH1098? 6Shall that which is insipid be eatenH398 without saltH4417? Is there any tasteH2940 in the white of an egg? 7What my soulH5315 refuseth to touchH5060, that is as my loathsome foodH3899. 8Oh that I might have my request, and that 2GodH433 would grant my desire! 9And that it would please 3GodH433 to crushH1792 me, that he would let loose his handH3027 and cutH1214 me off! 10Then should I yetH5750 have comfortH5165; and in the pain which spareth not I would rejoice that I have not denied the wordsH561 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918. 11What is my strengthH3581, that I should hopeH3176? and what is mine endH7093, that I should have patience? 12Is my strengthH3581 the strengthH3581 of stonesH68? is my fleshH1320 of brass? 13Is it not that there is no helpH5833 in me, and soundness is drivenH5080 awayH5080 from me? 14For him that is fainting kindness [is meet] from his friendH7453; or he forsaketh the fearH3374 of the AlmightyH7706. 15My brethren have dealtH898 deceitfully as a stream, as the channel of streams which passH5674 awayH5674, 16Which are turbid by reason of the iceH7140, in which the snowH7950 hideth itself: 17At the timeH6256 they diminish, they are dried up; when heatH2527 affecteth them, they vanish from their placeH4725: 18They wind about in the pathsH734 of their course, they goH5927 off into the waste and perishH6. 19The caravans of TemaH8485 lookedH5027, the companies of ShebaH7614 counted on them: 20They are ashamedH954 at their hope; they comeH935 thither, and are confounded. 21So nowH6258 ye are nothing; ye seeH7200 a terrible object and are afraidH3372. 22Did I sayH559, Bring unto me, and make me a present from your substance? 23Or, rescue me from the handH3027 of the oppressor, and redeemH6299 me from the handH3027 of the violent? 24TeachH3384 me, and I will hold my tongue; and cause me to understandH995 wherein I have erredH7686. 25HowH4100 forcible are right wordsH561! but what doth your upbraiding reproveH3198? 26Do ye imagine to reproveH3198 wordsH561? The speeches of one that is desperate are indeed for the windH7307. 27Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherlessH3490, and digH3738 [a pit] for your friendH7453. 28NowH6258 thereforeH6258 if ye will, look upon me; and it shall be to your faceH6440 if I lieH3576. 29ReturnH7725, I pray you, let there beH1961 no wrong; yea, returnH7725 againH5750, my righteousnessH6664 shall beH1961 in it. 30Is there wrong in my tongueH3956? cannot my taste discernH995 mischievous things?
