Job 6:1 But Job347 answered6030 and said,5592 Oh that3863 my grief3708 were throughly8254 weighed,8254 and my calamity19421962 laid5375{Heb. lifted up} in the balances3976 together!31623 For now it would be heavier3513 than the sand2344 of the sea:3220 therefore my words1697 are swallowed up.3886{That is, I want words to express my grief}4 For the arrows2671 of the Almighty7706are within5978 me, the poison2534 whereof drinketh up8354 my spirit:7307 the terrors1161 of God433 do set themselves in array6186 against me.
5 Doth the wild ass6501 bray5101 when he hath grass?1877{Heb. at grass} or loweth1600 the ox7794 over his fodder?10986 Can that which is unsavoury8602 be eaten398 without salt?4417 or is there3426any taste2940 in the white7388 of an egg?24957 The things that my soul5315 refused3985 to touch5060are as my sorrowful1741 meat.3899
Job 6:8 Oh that I might have935 my request;7596 and that God433 would grant5414me the thing that I long for!8615{Heb. my expectation}9 Even that it would please2974 God433 to destroy1792 me; that he would let loose5425 his hand,3027 and cut me off!121410 Then should I yet have comfort;5165 yea, I would harden5539 myself in sorrow:2427 let him not spare;2550 for I have not concealed3582 the words561 of the Holy One.691811 What is my strength,3581 that I should hope?3176 and what is mine end,7093 that I should prolong748 my life?531512Is my strength3581 the strength3581 of stones?68 or is my flesh1320 of brass?515313Is not my help5833 in me? and is wisdom8454 driven quite5080 from me?
Job 6:14 To him that is afflicted4523{Heb. to him that melteth} pity2617shouldbeshewed from his friend;7453 but he forsaketh5800 the fear3374 of the Almighty.770615 My brethren251 have dealt deceitfully898 as a brook,5158and as the stream650 of brooks5158 they pass away;567416 Which are blackish6937 by reason of the ice,7140and wherein the snow7950 is hid:595617 What time6256 they wax warm,2215 they vanish:6789{Heb. they are cut off} when it is hot,2527{Heb. in the heat thereof} they are consumed{Heb. extinguished} out1846 of their place.472518 The paths734 of their way1870 are turned aside;3943 they go5927 to nothing,8414 and perish.619 The troops734 of Tema8485 looked,5027 the companies1979 of Sheba7614 waited6960 for them.
20 They were confounded954 because they had hoped;982 they came935 thither, and were ashamed.265921 For now ye are{Or, for now ye are like to them} nothing;{Heb. not} ye see7200my casting down,2866 and are afraid.337222 Did I say,559 Bring3051 unto me? or, Give a reward7809 for me of your substance?358123 Or, Deliver4422 me from the enemy's6862 hand?3027 or, Redeem6299 me from the hand3027 of the mighty?6184
Job 6:24 Teach3384 me, and I will hold my tongue:2790 and cause me to understand995 wherein I have erred.768625 How forcible4834 are right3476 words!561 but what doth your arguing3198 reprove?319826 Do ye imagine2803 to reprove3198 words,4405 and the speeches561 of one that is desperate,2976whichare as wind?730727 Yea, ye overwhelm5307{Heb. ye cause to fall upon} the fatherless,3490 and ye dig3738apit for your friend.745328 Now therefore be content,2974 look6437 upon me; for itis evident6440 unto you{Heb. before your face} if I lie.357629 Return,7725 I pray you, let it not be iniquity;5766 yea, return again,7725 my righteousness6664is in it.{that is, in this matter}30 Is there3426 iniquity5766 in my tongue?3956 cannot my taste2441{Heb. my palate} discern995 perverse things?1942
