Job 6

1 But Job answered and said,WBS — Job 6:1

2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!WBS — Job 6:2

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

4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison of which drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God set themselves in array against me.WBS — Job 6:4

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

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

7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful food.WBS — Job 6:7

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

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

10 Then should I yet have comfort; yes, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.WBS — Job 6:10

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

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

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

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

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

16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and in which the snow is hid:WBS — Job 6:16

17 In the time when they become warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.WBS — Job 6:17

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

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

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

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

22 Did I say, Bring to me? or Give a reward for me of your substance?WBS — Job 6:22

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

24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand in what I have erred.WBS — Job 6:24

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

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

27 Yes, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.WBS — Job 6:27

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

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

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