    Job 6
    • 1   But Job answered and said,
    • 2   Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
    • 3   For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
    • 4   For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinks up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
    • 5   Does the wild ass bray when he has grass? or lows the ox over his fodder?
    • 6   Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
    • 7   The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
    • 8   Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
    • 9   Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
    • 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.
    • 11   What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
    • 12   Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
    • 13   Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
    • 14   To him that is afflicted pity should be showed from his friend; but he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
    • 15   My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
    • 16   Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
    • 17   What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
    • 18   The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
    • 19   The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
    • 20   They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
    • 21   For now you are nothing; you see my casting down, and are afraid.
    • 22   Did I say, Bring to me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
    • 23   Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
    • 24   Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
    • 25   How forcible are right words! but what does your arguing reprove?
    • 26   Do you imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
    • 27   Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you dig a pit for your friend.
    • 28   Now therefore be content, look on me; for it is evident to you if I lie.
    • 29   Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yes, return again, my righteousness is in it.
    • 30   Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
