6Job 6

1But Job answered and said,Select Job 6:1

2Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!Select Job 6:2

3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.Select Job 6:3

4For 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.Select Job 6:4

5Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?Select Job 6:5

6Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?Select Job 6:6

7The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.Select Job 6:7

8Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!Select Job 6:8

9Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!Select Job 6:9

10Then 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.Select Job 6:10

11What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?Select Job 6:11

12Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?Select Job 6:12

13Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?Select Job 6:13

14To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.Select Job 6:14

15My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;Select Job 6:15

16Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:Select Job 6:16

17What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.Select Job 6:17

18The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.Select Job 6:18

19The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.Select Job 6:19

20They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.Select Job 6:20

21For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.Select Job 6:21

22Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?Select Job 6:22

23Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?Select Job 6:23

24Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.Select Job 6:24

25How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?Select Job 6:25

26Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?Select Job 6:26

27Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.Select Job 6:27

28Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.Select Job 6:28

29Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.Select Job 6:29

30Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?Select Job 6:30
