Job Chapter 6
6:1 | But Job answered and said, |
6:2 | Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! |
6:3 | For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up. |
6:4 | For the arrows of the Almighty [are] within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my ![]() ![]() |
6:5 | Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder? |
6:6 | Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there [any] taste in the white of an egg? |
6:7 | The things [that] my soul refused to touch [are] as my sorrowful ![]() |
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 destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off! |
6:10 | Then should I yet have comfort; ![]() |
6:11 | What [is] my strength, that I should hope? and what [is] mine end, that I should prolong my life? |
6:12 | [Is] my strength the strength of stones? or [is] my flesh of brass? |
6:13 | [Is] not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me? |
6:14 | To him that is afflicted pity [should be showed] from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. |
6:15 | My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, [and] as the stream of brooks they pass away; |
6:16 | Which are blackish by reason of the ice, [and] wherein the snow is hid: |
6:17 | What ![]() ![]() |
6:18 | The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish. |
6:19 | The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them. |
6:20 | They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed. |
6:21 | For now ye are nothing; ye ![]() |
6:22 | Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance? |
6:23 | Or, Deliver me from the enemy' hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty? |
6:24 | Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred. |
6:25 | How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove? |
6:26 | ![]() |
6:27 | ![]() |
6:28 | Now therefore be content, look upon me; for [it is] evident unto you if I lie. |
6:29 | Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; ![]() |
6:30 | Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things? |
