Verse
Job - ch 6 v 1 - 20
- But Job answered and said,
- Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
- For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
- For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
- Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
- Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
- The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
- Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
- Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
- Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
- What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
- Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
- Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
- To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
- My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
- Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
- What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
- The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
- The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
- They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
