Revised Literal Translation
Job 6:2-10
2Oh thatH3863 my griefH3708 were throughlyH8254 weighedH8254, and my calamityH1962H1942 laidH5375 in the balancesH3976 togetherH3162!1
3For now it would be heavierH3513 than the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: therefore my wordsH1697 are swallowed upH3886.2
4For the arrowsH2671 of the AlmightyH7706 are withinH5978 me, the poisonH2534 whereof drinketh upH8354 my spiritH7307: the terrorsH1161 of GodH433 do set themselves in arrayH6186 against me.
5Doth the wild donkeyH6501 brayH5101 when he hath grassH1877? or lowethH1600 the oxH7794 over his fodderH1098?3
6Can that which is unsavouryH8602 be eatenH398 without saltH4417? or is thereH3426 any tasteH2940 in the whiteH7388 of an eggH2495?
7The things that my soulH5315 refusedH3985 to touchH5060 are as my sorrowfulH1741 meatH3899.
8Oh that I might haveH935 my requestH7596; and that GodH433 would grantH5414 me the thing that I long forH8615!4
9Even that it would pleaseH2974 GodH433 to destroyH1792 me; that he would let looseH5425 his handH3027, and cut me offH1214!
10Then should I yet have comfortH5165; yea, I would hardenH5539 myself in sorrowH2427: let him not spareH2550; for I have not concealedH3582 the wordsH561 of the Holy OneH6918.
