Jó 6

1 Then Job answered and said,

2 Oh that my vexation were but weighed,

3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas:

4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,

5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass?

6 Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt?

7 My soul refuseth to touch

8 Oh that I might have my request;

9 Even that it would please God to crush me;

10 And be it still my consolation,

11 What is my strength, that I should wait?

12 Is my strength the strength of stones?

13 Is it not that I have no help in me,

14 To him that is ready to faint kindness

15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook,

16 Which are black by reason of the ice,

17 What time they wax warm, they vanish;

18 The caravans

19 The caravans of Tema looked,

20 They were put to shame because they had hoped;

21 For now ye are nothing;

22 Did I say, Give unto me?

23 Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand?

24 Teach me, and I will hold my peace;

25 How forcible are words of uprightness!

26 Do ye think to reprove words,

27 Yea, ye would cast

28 Now therefore be pleased to look upon me;

29 Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice;

30 Is there injustice on my tongue?
