Job - ch 6 v 1 - 20
- Then Job answered,
- "Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
- For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore have my words been rash.
- For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
- Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
- Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
- My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
- "Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
- even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
- Be it still my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn't spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
- What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
- Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?
- Isn't it that I have no help in me, That wisdom is driven quite from me?
- "To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
- My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
- Which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
- In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
- The caravans that travel beside them turn aside. They go up into the waste, and perish.
- The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
- They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
