chapter_Job_6
Job 6:1: And Job answereth and saith: &#8212; Job 6:2: O that my provocation were thoroughly weighed, And my calamity in balances They would lift up together! Job 6:3: For now, than the sands of the sea it is heavier, Therefore my words have been rash. Job 6:4: For arrows of the Mighty are with me, Whose poison is drinking up my spirit. Terrors of God array themselves for me! Job 6:5: Brayeth a wild ass over tender grass? Loweth an ox over his provender? Job 6:6: Eaten is an insipid thing without salt? Is there sense in the drivel of dreams? Job 6:7: My soul is refusing to touch! They are as my sickening food. Job 6:8: O that my request may come, That God may grant my hope! Job 6:9: That God would please &#8212; and bruise me, Loose His hand and cut me off! Job 6:10: And yet it is my comfort, (And I exult in pain &#8212; He doth not spare,) That I have not hidden The sayings of the Holy One. Job 6:11: What is my power that I should hope? And what mine end That I should prolong my life? Job 6:12: Is my strength the strength of stones? Is my flesh brazen? Job 6:13: Is not my help with me, And substance driven from me? Job 6:14: To a despiser of his friends is shame, And the fear of the Mighty he forsaketh. Job 6:15: My brethren have deceived as a brook, As a stream of brooks they pass away. Job 6:16: That are black because of ice, By them doth snow hide itself. Job 6:17: By the time they are warm they have been cut off, By its being hot they have been Extinguished from their place. Job 6:18: Turn aside do the paths of their way, They ascend into emptiness, and are lost. Job 6:19: Passengers of Tema looked expectingly, Travellers of Sheba hoped for them. Job 6:20: They were ashamed that one hath trusted, They have come unto it and are confounded. Job 6:21: Surely now ye have become the same! Ye see a downfall, and are afraid. Job 6:22: Is it because I said, Give to me? And, By your power bribe for me? Job 6:23: And, Deliver me from the hand of an adversary? And, From the hand of terrible ones ransom me? Job 6:24: Shew me, and I &#8212; I keep silent, And what I have erred, let me understand. Job 6:25: How powerful have been upright sayings, And what doth reproof from you reprove? Job 6:26: For reproof &#8212; do you reckon words? And for wind &#8212; sayings of the desperate. Job 6:27: Anger on the fatherless ye cause to fall, And are strange to your friend. Job 6:28: And, now, please, look upon me, Even to your face do I lie? Job 6:29: Turn back, I pray you, let it not be perverseness, Yea, turn back again &#8212; my righteousness is in it. Job 6:30: Is there in my tongue perverseness? Discerneth not my palate desirable things?
