Job 6:11-30

11What is my strengthH3581, that I should hopeH3176? and what is mine endH7093, that I should prolongH748 my lifeH5315?

12Is my strengthH3581 the strengthH3581 of stonesH68? or is my fleshH1320 of brassH5153?1

13Is not my helpH5833 in me? and is wisdomH8454 driven quiteH5080 from me?

14To him that is afflictedH4523 pityH2617 should be shewed from his friendH7453; but he forsakethH5800 the fearH3374 of the AlmightyH7706.2

15My brethrenH251 have dealt deceitfullyH898 as a brookH5158, and as the streamH650 of brooksH5158 they pass awayH5674;

16Which are blackishH6937 by reason of the iceH7140, and wherein the snowH7950 is hidH5956:

17What timeH6256 they wax warmH2215, they vanishH6789: when it is hotH2527, they are consumed outH1846 of their placeH4725.345

18The pathsH734 of their wayH1870 are turned asideH3943; they goH5927 to nothingH8414, and perishH6.

19The troopsH734 of TemaH8485 lookedH5027, the companiesH1979 of ShebaH7614 waitedH6960 for them.

20They were confoundedH954 because they had hopedH982; they cameH935 thither, and were ashamedH2659.

21For now ye are nothing; ye seeH7200 my casting downH2866, and are afraidH3372.67

22Did I sayH559, BringH3051 unto me? or, Give a rewardH7809 for me of your substanceH3581?

23Or, DeliverH4422 me from the enemy’sH6862 handH3027? or, RedeemH6299 me from the handH3027 of the mightyH6184?

24TeachH3384 me, and I will hold my tongueH2790: and cause me to understandH995 wherein I have erredH7686.

25How forcibleH4834 are rightH3476 wordsH561! but what doth your arguingH3198 reproveH3198?

26Do ye imagineH2803 to reproveH3198 wordsH4405, and the speechesH561 of one that is desperateH2976, which are as windH7307?

27Yea, ye overwhelmH5307 the fatherlessH3490, and ye digH3738 a pit for your friendH7453.8

28Now therefore be contentH2974, lookH6437 upon me; for it is evidentH6440 unto you if I lieH3576.9

29ReturnH7725, I pray you, let it not be iniquityH5766; yea, return againH7725, my righteousnessH6664 is in it.10

30Is thereH3426 iniquityH5766 in my tongueH3956? cannot my tasteH2441 discernH995 perverse thingsH1942?11
