Job 6

1Then JobH347 answeredH559 and saidH559, 2OhH3863 that my vexation were but weighedH8254, and my calamity laidH5375 in the balancesH3976 togetherH3162! 3For nowH6258 it would be heavierH3513 thanH5921 the sandH2344 of the seasH3220: therefore have my wordsH1697 been rash. 4For the arrowsH2671 of the AlmightyH7706 are within meH5978, the poisonH2534 whereof my spiritH7307 drinketh upH6186: the terrorsH1161 of GodH433 do setH834 themselves in array against meH5978. 5Doth the wildH6501 ass brayH5101 when he hath grassH1877? or loweth the oxH7794 over his fodderH1098? 6CanH518 that which hath noH1097 savour be eatenH398 withoutH1097 saltH4417? or is there anyH3426 tasteH2940 in the whiteH2495 of an eggH2495? 7My soulH5315 refuseth to touchH5060 them; they are as loathsomeH1741 meat to meH5315. 8OhH4310 that I might have my requestH7596; and that GodH433 would grantH5414 meH5414 the thingH7596 that I long for. 9Even that it would pleaseH2974 GodH433 to crushH1792 meH1214; that he would let loose his handH3027, and cutH1214 meH1214 offH1214! 10Then should I yet have comfortH5165; yeaH3588, I would exult in painH2427 that spareth notH3808: for I have notH3808 deniedH3582 the wordsH561 of the HolyH6918 One. 11WhatH4100 is my strengthH3581, that I should waitH3176? and whatH4100 is mine endH7093, at I should be patient? 12Is my strengthH3581 the strengthH3581 of stonesH68? or is my fleshH1320 of brass? 13Is it notH369 that I have noH369 helpH5833 in meH4480, and that effectual working is drivenH5080 quite from meH4480? 14To him that is ready to faint kindnessH2617 should be shewed from his friendH7453; evenH7453 to him that forsaketh the fearH3374 of the AlmightyH7706. 15My brethrenH251 have dealtH898 deceitfullyH898 as a brookH5158, as the channel of brooksH650 that passH5674 awayH5674; 16Which are blackH6937 by reasonH5921 of the iceH7140, and wherein the snowH7950 hideth itself: 17What time they wax warmH2527, they vanishH1846: when it is hotH2527, they are consumedH6789 outH1846 of their placeH4725. 18The caravansH734 that travel by the wayH1870 of them turn aside; they goH5927 upH5927 intoH5927 the wasteH8414, and perishH6. 19The caravansH734 of TemaH8485 lookedH5027, the companies of ShebaH7614 waited for them. 20They were ashamedH954 becauseH3588 they had hoped; they cameH935 thither, and were confoundedH2659. 21For nowH6258 ye are nothingH3808; ye seeH7200 a terrorH2866, and are afraidH3372. 22Did I sayH559, GiveH3051 unto meH1157? or, offerH7809 a present for meH1157 of your substance? 23Or, DeliverH4422 meH6299 from the adversary’s handH3027? or, RedeemH6299 meH6299 from the handH3027 of the oppressors? 24TeachH3384 meH995, and I will hold my peace: and cause meH995 to understandH995 wherein I have erredH7686. 25HowH4100 forcible are wordsH561 of uprightnessH3476! but whatH4100 doth your arguing reproveH3198? 26Do ye imagine to reproveH3198 wordsH561? seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as windH7307. 27Yea, ye would castH5307 lots uponH5921 the fatherlessH3490, and make merchandise of your friendH7453. 28NowH6258 therefore be pleasedH2974 to lookH6437 uponH5921 meH6440; for surelyH518 I shall notH518 lieH3576 to your faceH6440. 29ReturnH7725, I prayH4994 youH7725, letH4994 there be noH408 injusticeH5766; yea, returnH7725 againH5750, my causeH7725 is righteousH6664. 30Is there injusticeH5766 on my tongueH3956? cannotH3808 my tasteH2441 discernH995 mischievous things?
