Job 6:1-30
Job 6:1-30
-
1Then Job answered and said:
-
2"Oh that my vexation were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
-
3For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash.
-
4For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
-
5Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass, or the ox low over his fodder?
-
6Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there any taste in the juice of the mallow?
-
7My appetite refuses to touch them; they are as food that is loathsome to me.
-
8"Oh that I might have my request, and that God would fulfill my hope,
-
9that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
-
10This would be my comfort; I would even exult in pain unsparing, for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
-
11What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?
-
12Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
-
13Have I any help in me, when resource is driven from me?
-
14"He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
-
15My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as torrential streams that pass away,
-
16which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.
-
17When they melt, they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
-
18The caravans turn aside from their course; they go up into the waste and perish.
-
19The caravans of Tema look, the travelers of Sheba hope.
-
20They are ashamed because they were confident; they come there and are disappointed.
-
21For you have now become nothing; you see my calamity and are afraid.
-
22Have I said, 'Make me a gift'? Or, 'From your wealth offer a bribe for me'?
-
23Or, 'Deliver me from the adversary's hand'? Or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless'?
-
24"Teach me, and I will be silent; make me understand how I have gone astray.
-
25How forceful are upright words! But what does reproof from you reprove?
-
26Do you think that you can reprove words, when the speech of a despairing man is wind?
-
27You would even cast lots over the fatherless, and bargain over your friend.
-
28"But now, be pleased to look at me, for I will not lie to your face.
-
29Please turn; let no injustice be done. Turn now; my vindication is at stake.
-
30Is there any injustice on my tongue? Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?
