    Job 6
    • 1   And Job made answer and said,
    • 2   If only my passion might be measured, and put into the scales against my trouble!
    • 3   For then its weight would be more than the sand of the seas: because of this my words have been uncontrolled.
    • 4   For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me.
    • 5   Does the ass of the fields give out his voice when he has grass? or does the ox make sounds over his food?
    • 6   Will a man take food which has no taste without salt? or is there any taste in the soft substance of purslain?
    • 7   My soul has no desire for such things, they are as disease in my food.
    • 8   If only I might have an answer to my prayer, and God would give me my desire!
    • 9   If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off!
    • 10   So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.
    • 11   Have I strength to go on waiting, or have I any end to be looking forward to?
    • 12   Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh brass?
    • 13   I have no help in myself, and wisdom is completely gone from me.
    • 14   He whose heart is shut against his friend has given up the fear of the Ruler of all.
    • 15   My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end:
    • 16   Which are dark because of the ice, and the snow falling into them;
    • 17   Under the burning sun they are cut off, and come to nothing because of the heat.
    • 18   The camel-trains go out of their way; they go up into the waste and come to destruction.
    • 19   The camel-trains of Tema were searching with care, the bands of Sheba were waiting for them:
    • 20   They were put to shame because of their hope; they came and their hope was gone.
    • 21   So have you now become to me; you see my sad condition and are in fear.
    • 22   Did I say, Give me something? or, Make a payment for me out of your wealth?
    • 23   Or, Get me out of the power of my hater? or, Give money so that I may be free from the power of the cruel ones?
    • 24   Give me teaching and I will be quiet; and make me see my error.
    • 25   How pleasing are upright words! but what force is there in your arguments?
    • 26   My words may seem wrong to you, but the words of him who has no hope are for the wind.
    • 27   Truly, you are such as would give up the child of a dead man to his creditors, and would make a profit out of your friend.
    • 28   Now then, let your eyes be turned to me, for truly I will not say what is false to your face.
    • 29   Let your minds be changed, and do not have an evil opinion of me; yes, be changed, for my righteousness is still in me.
    • 30   Is there evil in my tongue? is not the cause of my trouble clear to me?
