Job 6:2-10

2“If my misery could be weighed and my troubles be put on the scales,

3they would outweigh all the sands of the sea. That is why I spoke impulsively.

4For the Almighty has struck me down with his arrows. Their poison infects my spirit. God’s terrors are lined up against me.

5Don’t I have a right to complain? Don’t wild donkeys bray when they find no grass, and oxen bellow when they have no food?

6Don’t people complain about unsalted food? Does anyone want the tasteless white of an egg?

7My appetite disappears when I look at it; I gag at the thought of eating it!

8“Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant my desire.

9I wish he would crush me. I wish he would reach out his hand and kill me.

10At least I can take comfort in this: Despite the pain, I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
