Job 6:1-13
1Then JobH347 1answeredH6030,2“2OhH3863 that my griefH3708 were actuallyH8254 weighedH8254 And laidH5375 in the balancesH3976 togetherH3162 with my calamityH1942!3For thenH6258 it would be 3heavierH3513 thanH4480 the sandH2344 of the seasH3220; ThereforeH5921H3651 my wordsH1697 have beenH3886 rashH3886.4For the 4arrowsH2671 of the AlmightyH7706 are withinH5973 me, 5Their 6poisonH2534 my spiritH7307 drinksH8354; The 7terrorsH1161 of GodH433 are arrayedH6186 against me.5Does the 8wildH6501 donkeyH6501 brayH5101 overH5921 his grassH1877, OrH518 does the oxH7794 lowH1600 overH5921 his fodderH1098?6Can somethingH8602 tastelessH8602 be eatenH398 withoutH1097 saltH4417, OrH518 is thereH3426 anyH3426 tasteH2940 in the 9whiteH2495 of an eggH2495?7My soulH5315 10refusesH3985 to touchH5060 them; They are like loathsomeH1741 foodH3899 to me.
8“OhH4310H5414 that my requestH7596 might comeH935 to passH935, And that GodH433 would grantH5414 my longingH8615!9Would that GodH433 were 11willingH2974 to crushH1792 me, That He would looseH5425 His handH3027 and cutH1214 me offH1214!10But it is stillH5750 my consolationH5165, And I rejoiceH5539 in unsparingH3808H2550 painH2430, That I 12have not 13deniedH3582 the wordsH561 of the HolyH6918 OneH6918.11WhatH4100 is my strengthH3581, that I should waitH3176? And whatH4100 is my endH7093, that I should 1415endureH748H5315?12Is my strengthH3581 the strengthH3581 of stonesH68, OrH518 is my fleshH1320 bronzeH5153?13Is it that my 16helpH5833 is not within me, And that 1718deliveranceH8454 is drivenH5080 from me?
