Job 6 Verses
1
|
If my troubles and griefs were weighed on scales, |
3
|
they would weigh more than the sands of the sea, so my wild words should not surprise you. |
4
|
Almighty God has shot me with arrows, and their poison spreads through my body. God has lined up his terrors against me. |
5
|
A donkey is content when eating grass, and a cow is quiet when eating hay. |
6
|
But who can eat flat, unsalted food? What taste is there in the white of an egg? |
7
|
I have no appetite for food like that, and everything I eat makes me sick. |
8
|
Why won't God give me what I ask? Why won't he answer my prayer? |
9
|
If only he would go ahead and kill me! |
10
|
If I knew he would, I would leap for joy, no matter how great my pain. I know that God is holy; I have never opposed what he commands. |
11
|
What strength do I have to keep on living? Why go on living when I have no hope? |
12
|
Am I made of stone? Is my body bronze? |
13
|
I have no strength left to save myself; there is nowhere I can turn for help. |
14
|
In trouble like this I need loyal friends--- whether I've forsaken God or not. |
15
|
But you, my friends, you deceive me like streams that go dry when no rain comes. |
16
|
The streams are choked with snow and ice, |
17
|
but in the heat they disappear, and the stream beds lie bare and dry. |
18
|
Caravans get lost looking for water; they wander and die in the desert. |
19
|
Caravans from Sheba and Tema search, |
20
|
but their hope dies beside dry streams. |
21
|
You are like those streams to me, you see my fate and draw back in fear. |
22
|
Have I asked you to give me a gift or to bribe someone on my behalf |
23
|
or to save me from some enemy or tyrant? |
24
|
All right, teach me; tell me my faults. I will be quiet and listen to you. |
25
|
Honest words are convincing, but you are talking nonsense. |
26
|
You think I am talking nothing but wind; then why do you answer my words of despair? |
27
|
You would even roll dice for orphan slaves and make yourselves rich off your closest friends! |
28
|
Look me in the face. I won't lie. |
29
|
You have gone far enough. Stop being unjust. Don't condemn me. I'm in the right. |
30
|
But you think I am lying--- you think I can't tell right from wrong. |
