Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:1 - But Job answered and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:2 - Oh that one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, and take up my griefs in a balance together!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:3 - And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:4 - For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:5 - What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has fodder?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:6 - Shall bread be eaten without salt? or again, is there taste in empty words?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:7 - For my wrath cannot cease; for I perceive my food as the smell of a lion to be loathsome.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:8 - For oh that he would grant my desire, and my petition might come, and the Lord would grant my hope!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:9 - Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:10 - Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not shrink from it; for I have not denied the holy words of my God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:11 - For what is my strength, that I continue? what is my time, that my soul endures?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:12 - Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:13 - Or have I not trusted in him? but help is far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:14 - Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of the Lord has disregarded me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:15 - My nearest relations have not regarded me; they have passed me by like a failing brook, or like a wave.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:16 - They who used to reverence me, now have come against me like snow or congealed ice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:17 - When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:18 - Thus I also have been deserted of all; and I am ruined, and become an outcast.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:19 - Behold the ways of the Thæmanites, ye that mark the paths of the Sabæans.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:20 - They too that trust in cities and riches shall come to shame.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:21 - But ye also have come to me without pity; so that beholding my wound ye are afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:22 - What? have I made any demand of you? or do I ask for strength from you,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:23 - to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:24 - Teach ye me, and I will be silent: if in anything I have erred, tell me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:25 - But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, because I do not ask strength of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:26 - Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, for neither will I endure the sound of your speech.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:27 - Even because ye attack the fatherless, and insult your friend.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:28 - But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:29 - Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; and unite again with the just.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:30 - For there is no injustice in my tongue; and does not my throat meditate understanding?
