Job 6:14-30

14“For the 1despairingH4523 manH4523 there should be kindnessH2617 from his friendH7453; So that he does not 2abandonH5800 the 3fearH3374 of the AlmightyH7706.15My brothersH251 have actedH898 4deceitfullyH898 likeH3644 a 5wadiH5158, Like the torrentsH650 of 6wadisH5158 which drainH5674 awayH5674,16Which are darkenedH6937 becauseH4480 of iceH7140, And into which the snowH7950 7meltsH5956.17WhenH6256 8they dryH2215 upH2215, they vanishH6789; When it isH2552 hotH2552, they disappearH1846 from their placeH4725.18The 9pathsH734 of their courseH1870 windH3943 alongH3943, They goH5927 upH5927 into wastelandH8414 and perishH6.19The caravansH734 of 10TemaH8485 lookedH5027, The travelersH1979 of 11ShebaH7614 hopedH6960 for them.20They 12were putH954 toH954 shameH954, for they had trustedH982, They cameH935 thereH5704 and were humiliatedH2659.21IndeedH3588, you have nowH6258 becomeH1961 suchH3808, 13You seeH7200 terrorsH2866 and areH3372 afraidH3372.22Have I saidH559, ‘GiveH3051 me something,’ Or, ‘OfferH7809 aH7809 bribeH7809 for me from your wealthH3581,’23Or, ‘SaveH4422 me from the handH3027 of the enemyH6862,’ Or, ‘RedeemH6299 me from the handH3027 of the tyrantsH6184’?

24“TeachH3384 me, and 14I will beH2790 silentH2790; And showH995 me howH4100 I have doneH7686 wrongH7686.25HowH4100 painfulH4834 are honestH3476 wordsH561! But whatH4100 does your argumentH3198 proveH3198?26Do you intendH2803 to rebukeH3198 my wordsH561, When the 15wordsH561 of one in despairH2976 belong to the windH7307?27You would evenH637 16castH5307 lots for 17the orphansH3490, And 18barterH3739 overH5921 your friendH7453.28NowH6258 pleaseH2974 lookH6437 at me, And see ifH518 I am 19lyingH3576 to your faceH6440.29PleaseH4994 turnH7725 awayH7725, let there be noH408 injusticeH5767; TurnH7725 awayH7725, 20my righteousnessH6664 is stillH5750 in it.30IsH3426 thereH3426 injusticeH5767 on my tongueH3956? Does 21my palateH2441 not discernH995 disastersH1942?
