6:1 Then
Job
answered
and
said,
6:2 Oh
that
my
vexation
were
but
weighed,
And
all
my
calamity
laid
in
the
balances!
6:3 For
now
it
would
be
heavier
than
the
sand
of
the
seas:
Therefore
have
my
words
been
rash.
6:4 For
the
arrows
of
the
Almighty
are
within
me,
The
poison
whereof
my
spirit
drinketh
up:
The
terrors
of
God
do
set
themselves
in
array
against
me.
6:5 Doth
the
wild
ass
bray
when
he
hath
grass
Or
loweth
the
ox
over
his
fodder
6:6 Can
that
which
hath
no
savor
be
eaten
without
salt
Or
is
there
any
taste
in
the
white
of
an
egg
6:7 My
soul
refuseth
to
touch
[them];
They
are
as
loathsome
food
to
me.
6:8 Oh
that
I
might
have
my
request;
And
that
God
would
grant
[me]
the
thing
that
I
long
for!
6:9 Even
that
it
would
please
God
to
crush
me;
That
he
would
let
loose
his
hand,
and
cut
me
off!
6:10 And
be
it
still
my
consolation,
Yea,
let
me
exult
in
pain
that
spareth
not,
That
I
have
not
denied
the
words
of
the
Holy
One.
6:11 What
is
my
strength,
that
I
should
wait
And
what
is
mine
end,
that
I
should
be
patient
6:12 Is
my
strength
the
strength
of
stones
Or
is
my
flesh
of
brass
6:13 Is
it
not
that
I
have
no
help
in
me,
And
that
wisdom
is
driven
quite
from
me
6:14 To
him
that
is
ready
to
faint
kindness
[should
be
showed]
from
his
friend;
Even
to
him
that
forsaketh
the
fear
of
the
Almighty.
6:15 My
brethren
have
dealt
deceitfully
as
a
brook,
As
the
channel
of
brooks
that
pass
away;
6:16 Which
are
black
by
reason
of
the
ice,
[And]
wherein
the
snow
hideth
itself:
6:17 What
time
they
wax
warm,
they
vanish;
When
it
is
hot,
they
are
consumed
out
of
their
place.
6:18 The
caravans
[that
travel]
by
the
way
of
them
turn
aside;
They
go
up
into
the
waste,
and
perish.
6:19 The
caravans
of
Tema
looked,
The
companies
of
Sheba
waited
for
them.
6:20 They
were
put
to
shame
because
they
had
hoped;
They
came
thither,
and
were
confounded.
6:21 For
now
ye
are
nothing;
Ye
see
a
terror,
and
are
afraid.
6:22 Did
I
say,
Give
unto
me
Or,
Offer
a
present
for
me
of
your
substance
6:23 Or,
Deliver
me
from
the
adversary's
hand
Or,
Redeem
me
from
the
hand
of
the
oppressors
6:24 Teach
me,
and
I
will
hold
my
peace;
And
cause
me
to
understand
wherein
I
have
erred.
6:25 How
forcible
are
words
of
uprightness!
But
your
reproof,
what
doth
it
reprove
6:26 Do
ye
think
to
reprove
words,
Seeing
that
the
speeches
of
one
that
is
desperate
are
as
wind
6:27 Yea,
ye
would
cast
[lots]
upon
the
fatherless,
And
make
merchandise
of
your
friend.
6:28 Now
therefore
be
pleased
to
look
upon
me;
For
surely
I
shall
not
lie
to
your
face.
6:29 Return,
I
pray
you,
let
there
be
no
injustice;
Yea,
return
again,
my
cause
is
righteous.
6:30 Is
there
injustice
on
my
tongue
Cannot
my
taste
discern
mischievous
things
