Job 6:14-27

14“For the 1despairingH4523 manH4523 there should be kindnessH2617 from his friendH7453; So that he does not 2forsakeH5800 the 3fearH3374 of the AlmightyH7706.15My brothersH251 have actedH898 4deceitfullyH898 likeH3644 a 5wadiH5158, Like the torrentsH650 of 6wadisH5158 which vanishH5674,16Which are turbidH6937 becauseH4480 of iceH7140 And into which the snowH7950 7meltsH5956.17WhenH6256 8they becomeH2215 waterlessH2215, they 9are silentH6789, When it is hotH2552, they vanishH1846 from their placeH4725.18The 10pathsH734 of their courseH1870 windH3943 alongH3943, They goH5927 up into nothingH8414 and perishH6.19The caravansH734 of 11TemaH8485 lookedH5027, The travelersH1979 of 12ShebaH7614 hopedH6960 for them.20They 13were 14disappointedH954 for they had trustedH982, They cameH935 thereH5704 and were confoundedH2659.21IndeedH3588, you have nowH6258 becomeH1961 suchH3808, 15You seeH7200 a terrorH2866 and are afraidH3372.22Have I saidH559, ‘GiveH3051 me something,’ Or, ‘OfferH7809 a bribeH7809 for me from your wealthH3581,’23Or, ‘DeliverH4422 me from the handH3027 of the adversaryH6862,’ Or, ‘RedeemH6299 me from the handH3027 of the tyrantsH6184’?

24“TeachH3384 me, and 16I will be silentH2790; And showH995 me howH4100 I have erredH7686.25HowH4100 painfulH4834 are honestH3476 wordsH561! But whatH4100 does your argumentH3198 proveH3198?26Do you intendH2803 to reproveH3198 my wordsH561, When the 17wordsH561 of one in despairH2976 belong to the windH7307?27You would evenH637 18castH5307 lots for 19the orphansH3490 And 20barterH3739 overH5921 your friendH7453.
