Job 6:1-30

6:1
But Job
<0347>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
6:2
Oh that
<03863>
my grief
<03708>
were throughly
<08254> (8800)
weighed
<08254> (8735)_,
and my calamity
<01942> (8675) <01962>
laid
<05375> (8799)
in the balances
<03976>
together
<03162>_!
{laid: Heb. lifted up}
6:3
For now it would be heavier
<03513> (8799)
than the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>_:
therefore my words
<01697>
are swallowed up
<03886> (8804)_.
{my words...: that is, I want words to express my grief}
6:4
For the arrows
<02671>
of the Almighty
<07706>
[are] within
<05978>
me, the poison
<02534>
whereof drinketh up
<08354> (8802)
my spirit
<07307>_:
the terrors
<01161>
of God
<0433>
do set themselves in array
<06186> (8799)
against me.
6:5
Doth the wild ass
<06501>
bray
<05101> (8799)
when he hath grass
<01877>_?
or loweth
<01600> (8799)
the ox
<07794>
over his fodder
<01098>_?
{when he...: Heb. at grass?}
6:6
Can that which is unsavoury
<08602>
be eaten
<0398> (8735)
without salt
<04417>_?
or is there
<03426>
[any] taste
<02940>
in the white
<07388>
of an egg
<02495>_?
6:7
The things [that] my soul
<05315>
refused
<03985> (8765)
to touch
<05060> (8800)
[are] as my sorrowful
<01741>
meat
<03899>_.
6:8
Oh that I might have
<0935> (8799)
my request
<07596>_;
and that God
<0433>
would grant
<05414> (8799)
[me] the thing that I long for
<08615>_!
{the thing...: Heb. my expectation}
6:9
Even that it would please
<02974> (8686)
God
<0433>
to destroy
<01792> (8762)
me; that he would let loose
<05425> (8686)
his hand
<03027>_,
and cut me off
<01214> (8762)_!
6:10
Then should I yet have comfort
<05165>_;
yea, I would harden
<05539> (8762)
myself in sorrow
<02427>_:
let him not spare
<02550> (8799)_;
for I have not concealed
<03582> (8765)
the words
<0561>
of the Holy One
<06918>_.
6:11
What [is] my strength
<03581>_,
that I should hope
<03176> (8762)_?
and what [is] mine end
<07093>_,
that I should prolong
<0748> (8686)
my life
<05315>_?
6:12
[Is] my strength
<03581>
the strength
<03581>
of stones
<068>_?
or [is] my flesh
<01320>
of brass
<05153>_?
{of brass: Heb. brasen?}
6:13
[Is] not my help
<05833>
in me? and is wisdom
<08454>
driven quite
<05080> (8738)
from me?
6:14
To him that is afflicted
<04523>
pity
<02617>
[should be shewed] from his friend
<07453>_;
but he forsaketh
<05800> (8799)
the fear
<03374>
of the Almighty
<07706>_.
{is afflicted: Heb. melteth}
6:15
My brethren
<0251>
have dealt deceitfully
<0898> (8804)
as a brook
<05158>_,
[and] as the stream
<0650>
of brooks
<05158>
they pass away
<05674> (8799)_;
6:16
Which are blackish
<06937> (8802)
by reason of the ice
<07140>_,
[and] wherein the snow
<07950>
is hid
<05956> (8691)_:
6:17
What time
<06256>
they wax warm
<02215> (8792)_,
they vanish
<06789> (8738)_:
when it is hot
<02527>_,
they are consumed out
<01846> (8738)
of their place
<04725>_.
{vanish: Heb. are cut off} {when...: Heb. in the heat thereof} {consumed: Heb. extinguished}
6:18
The paths
<0734>
of their way
<01870>
are turned aside
<03943> (8735)_;
they go
<05927> (8799)
to nothing
<08414>_,
and perish
<06> (8799)_.
6:19
The troops
<0734>
of Tema
<08485>
looked
<05027> (8689)_,
the companies
<01979>
of Sheba
<07614>
waited
<06960> (8765)
for them.
6:20
They were confounded
<0954> (8804)
because they had hoped
<0982> (8804)_;
they came
<0935> (8804)
thither, and were ashamed
<02659> (8799)_.
6:21
For now ye are nothing; ye see
<07200> (8799)
[my] casting down
<02866>_,
and are afraid
<03372> (8799)_.
{ye are...: or, ye are like to them: Heb. to it} {nothing: Heb. not}
6:22
Did I say
<0559> (8804)_,
Bring
<03051> (8798)
unto me? or, Give a reward
<07809> (8798)
for me of your substance
<03581>_?
6:23
Or, Deliver
<04422> (8761)
me from the enemy's
<06862>
hand
<03027>_?
or, Redeem
<06299> (8799)
me from the hand
<03027>
of the mighty
<06184>_?
6:24
Teach
<03384> (8685)
me, and I will hold my tongue
<02790> (8686)_:
and cause me to understand
<0995> (8685)
wherein I have erred
<07686> (8804)_.
6:25
How forcible
<04834> (8738)
are right
<03476>
words
<0561>_!
but what doth your arguing
<03198> (8687)
reprove
<03198> (8686)_?
6:26
Do ye imagine
<02803> (8799)
to reprove
<03198> (8687)
words
<04405>_,
and the speeches
<0561>
of one that is desperate
<02976> (8737)_,
[which are] as wind
<07307>_?
6:27
Yea, ye overwhelm
<05307> (8686)
the fatherless
<03490>_,
and ye dig
<03738> (8799)
[a pit] for your friend
<07453>_.
{ye overwhelm: Heb. ye cause to fall upon}
6:28
Now therefore be content
<02974> (8685)_,
look
<06437> (8798)
upon me; for [it is] evident
<06440>
unto you if I lie
<03576> (8762)_.
{evident...: Heb. before your face}
6:29
Return
<07725> (8798)_,
I pray you, let it not be iniquity
<05766>_;
yea, return again
<07725> (8798)_,
my righteousness
<06664>
[is] in it. {in it: that is, in this matter}
6:30
Is there
<03426>
iniquity
<05766>
in my tongue
<03956>_?
cannot my taste
<02441>
discern
<0995> (8799)
perverse things
<01942>_?
{my taste: Heb. my palate}
