Job 6
6:1And undertaking, Job says,
6:2For if anyone stationing weight would set my wrath, and lift my griefs onto a yoke balance scale, they would be in one accord.
6:3For indeed of the sand of the coast it will be heavier; upon this my sayings were trampled.
6:4For arrows of the worthy one are in my body, which their rage drinks up my blood. Whenever I begin to speak, they sting me.
6:5For what -- will the wild donkey ineffectually cry out if he is not seeking grain, no. And shall then the voice of the ox tear loose at the stable while having foods, no.
6:6Shall bread be eaten without salt, no. and is there taste in empty words, no.
6:7For my soul is not able to cease; for groaning I see my grain as the scent of a lion.
6:8For if only he might give and my requests might come, and that the lord might grant my hope.
6:9Beginning, let the lord pierce; but let me not be done away with unto the end!
6:10But may the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I leaped upon; upon it I shall not spare; for I lied not about the holy sayings of my God.
6:11For what is my strength, that I remain? or what is my time, that my soul endures?
6:12Is my strength the strength of stones? or are my flesh members of brass?
6:13Or not upon him to yield? but help was departed from me;
6:14mercy is forbidden me; and the visit of the lord overlooked me.
6:15My brothers looked not at me; they went by me as if a rushing stream dissipating or as if a wave.
6:16The ones who revered me, now fall upon me as if snow or ice banked up,
6:17and as the melting away by the coming of heat, it was not recognized of where it was.
6:18So I also was left by all; and I am destroyed, and I became homeless.
6:19Behold the ways of the Temanites, O ones seeing clearly the short cuts of the Sabaeans.
6:20And for shame they shall owe -- the ones in cities and the things relied upon there.
6:21But nevertheless, even you mounted against me mercilessly; so that beholding my wound you are fearful.
6:22For what -- did I ask anything of you, or do I want strength from you,
6:23so as to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from out of the hand of mighty ones?
6:24Teach me, and I will be silent! If in anything I have wandered, expound to me!
6:25But as it seems, the words of a true man are vile; for I do not ask strength from you.
6:26Nor will your reproof cause me to cease my words; for neither your utterance of a word will I endure.
6:27Besides that, you fall upon an orphan, and you assail against your friend.
6:28But now, having looked into your faces, I will not lie.
6:29Sit indeed, and may there not be anything unjust, and again come together with the just!
6:30For there is no unjust thing on my tongue; or, does not my throat meditate on understanding?
