4:16 It stands still,
but I cannot recognize its appearance;
an image is before my eyes,
and I hear a murmuring voice:
6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me;
my spirit drinks their poison;
God’s sudden terrors are arrayed against me.
6:15 My brothers have been as treacherous as a seasonal stream,
and as the riverbeds of the intermittent streams
that flow away.
12:4 I am a laughingstock to my friends,
I, who called on God and whom he answered –
a righteous and blameless man
is a laughingstock!
16:6 “But if I speak, my pain is not relieved,
and if I refrain from speaking
– how much of it goes away?
16:8 You have seized me,
and it has become a witness;
my leanness has risen up against me
and testifies against me.
16:9 His anger has torn me and persecuted me;
he has gnashed at me with his teeth;
my adversary locks his eyes on me.
23:12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my allotted portion.
27:5 I will never declare that you three are in the right;
until I die, I will not set aside my integrity!
29:24 If I smiled at them, they hardly believed it;
and they did not cause the light of my face to darken.
30:1 “But now they mock me, those who are younger than I,
whose fathers I disdained too much
to put with my sheep dogs.
30:12 On my right the young rabble rise up;
they drive me from place to place,
and build up siege ramps against me.
31:31 if the members of my household have never said,
‘If only there were someone
who has not been satisfied from Job’s meat!’ –
32:22 for I do not know how to give honorary titles,
if I did, my Creator would quickly do away with me.
