Job 6

1Then Job^H347 answered^H6030 and said^H559, 2Oh that^H3863 my vexation^H3708 were but^H8254 weighed^H8254, And all my calamity^H1942 laid^H5375 in^H3162 the balances^H3976! 3For now it would be heavier^H3513 than the sand^H2344 of the seas^H3220: Therefore have my words^H1697 been rash^H3886. 4For the arrows^H2671 of the Almighty^H7706 are within^H5978 me, The poison^H2534 whereof my spirit^H7307 drinketh up^H8354: The terrors^H1161 of God^H433 do set themselves in array^H6186 against me. 5Doth the wild ass^H6501 bray^H5101 when he hath grass^H1877? Or loweth^H1600 the ox^H7794 over his fodder^H1098? 6Can that which hath no savor^H8602 be eaten^H398 without salt^H4417? Or is there^H3426 any taste^H2940 in the white^H7388 of an egg^H2495? 7My soul^H5315 refuseth^H3985 to touch^H5060 them; They are as loathsome^H1741 food^H3899 to me. 8Oh that I might have^H935 my request^H7596; And that God^H433 would grant^H5414 me the thing that I long for^H8615! 9Even that it would please^H2974 God^H433 to crush^H1792 me; That he would let loose^H5425 his hand^H3027, and cut me off^H1214! 10And be it still my consolation^H5165, Yea, let me exult^H5539 in pain^H2427 that spareth^H2550 not, That I have not denied^H3582 the words^H561 of the Holy One^H6918. 11What is my strength^H3581, that I should wait^H3176? And what is mine end^H7093, that I should be^H5315 patient^H748? 12Is my strength^H3581 the strength^H3581 of stones^H68? Or is my flesh^H1320 of brass^H5153? 13Is it not that I have no help^H5833 in me, And that wisdom^H8454 is driven quite^H5080 from me? 14To him that is ready^H4523 to faint kindness^H2617 should be showed from his friend^H7453; Even to him that forsaketh^H5800 the fear^H3374 of the Almighty^H7706. 15My brethren^H251 have dealt deceitfully^H898 as a brook^H5158, As the channel^H650 of brooks^H5158 that pass away^H5674; 16Which are black^H6937 by reason of the ice^H7140, And wherein the snow^H7950 hideth^H5956 itself: 17What time^H6256 they wax warm^H2215, they vanish^H6789; When it is hot^H2527, they are consumed out^H1846 of their place^H4725. 18The caravans^H734 that travel by the way^H1870 of them turn aside^H3943; They go^H5927 up into the waste^H8414, and perish^H6. 19The caravans^H734 of Tema^H8485 looked^H5027, The companies^H1979 of Sheba^H7614 waited^H6960 for them. 20They were put to shame^H954 because they had hoped^H982; They came^H935 thither, and were confounded^H2659. 21For now ye are nothing; Ye see^H7200 a terror^H2866, and are afraid^H3372. 22Did I say^H559, Give^H3051 unto me? Or, Offer a present^H3051 for me of your substance^H3581? 23Or, Deliver^H4422 me from the adversary's^H6862 hand^H3027? Or, Redeem^H6299 me from the hand^H3027 of the oppressors^H6184? 24Teach^H3384 me, and I will hold my peace^H2790; And cause me to understand^H995 wherein I have erred^H7686. 25How forcible^H4834 are words^H561 of uprightness^H3476! But your reproof^H3198, what doth it reprove^H3198? 26Do ye think^H2803 to reprove^H3198 words^H4405, Seeing that the speeches^H561 of one that is desperate^H2976 are as wind^H7307? 27Yea, ye would cast lots^H5307 upon the fatherless^H3490, And make merchandise^H3738 of your friend^H7453. 28Now therefore be pleased^H2974 to look^H6437 upon me; For surely^H6440 I shall not lie^H3576 to your face. 29Return^H7725, I pray you, let there be no injustice^H5766; Yea, return again^H7725, my cause is righteous^H6664. 30Is there^H3426 injustice^H5766 on my tongue^H3956? Cannot my taste^H2441 discern^H995 mischievous things^H1942?
