1 # But Job <0347> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799),
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>!
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).
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.
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>?
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>?
7 The things that my soul <05315> refused <03985> (8765) to touch <05060> (8800) are as my sorrowful <01741> meat <03899>.
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>!
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)!
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>.
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>?
12 Is my strength <03581> the strength <03581> of stones <068>? or is my flesh <01320> of brass <05153>?
13 Is not my help <05833> in me? and is wisdom <08454> driven quite <05080> (8738) from me?
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>.
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);
16 Which are blackish <06937> (8802) by reason of the ice <07140>, and wherein the snow <07950> is hid <05956> (8691):
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>.
18 The paths <0734> of their way <01870> are turned aside <03943> (8735); they go <05927> (8799) to nothing <08414>, and perish <06> (8799).
19 The troops <0734> of Tema <08485> looked <05027> (8689), the companies <01979> of Sheba <07614> waited <06960> (8765) for them.
20 They were confounded <0954> (8804) because they had hoped <0982> (8804); they came <0935> (8804) thither, and were ashamed <02659> (8799).
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see <07200> (8799) my casting down <02866>, and are afraid <03372> (8799).
22 # Did I say <0559> (8804), Bring <03051> (8798) unto me? or, Give a reward <07809> (8798) for me of your substance <03581>?
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>?
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).
25 How forcible <04834> (8738) are right <03476> words <0561>! but what doth your arguing <03198> (8687) reprove <03198> (8686)?
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>?
27 Yea, ye overwhelm <05307> (8686) the fatherless <03490>, and ye dig <03738> (8799) a pit for your friend <07453>.
28 Now therefore be content <02974> (8685), look <06437> (8798) upon me; for it is evident <06440> unto you if I lie <03576> (8762).
29 Return <07725> (8798), I pray you, let it not be iniquity <05766>; yea, return again <07725> (8798), my righteousness <06664> is in it.
30 Is there <03426> iniquity <05766> in my tongue <03956>? cannot my taste <02441> discern <0995> (8799) perverse things <01942>?
