Job: My Complaint Is Just

6Then Job answered and said:H347H6030H559 2"Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, And my calamity laid with it on the scales!H3863H3708H8254H8254H1942H1962H5375H3976H3162 3For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea—Therefore my words have been rash.H3513H2344H3220H1697H3886 4For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; My spirit drinks in their poison; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.H2671H7706H5978H2534H8354H7307H1161H433H6186 5Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass, Or does the ox low over its fodder?H6501H5101H1877H1600H7794H1098 6Can flavorless food be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?H8602H398H4417H3426H2940H7388H2495 7My soul refuses to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me.H5315H3985H5060H1741H3899 8"Oh, that I might have my request, That God would grant me the thing that I long for!H935H7596H433H5414H8615 9That it would please God to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!H2974H433H1792H5425H3027H1214 10Then I would still have comfort; Though in anguish, I would exult, He will not spare; For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.H5165H5539H2427H2550H3582H561H6918 11"What strength do I have, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?H3581H3176H7093H748H5315 12Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?H3581H3581H68H1320H5153 13Is my help not within me? And is success driven from me?H5833H8454H5080 14"To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.H4523H2617H7453H5800H3374H7706 15My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,H251H898H5158H650H5158H5674 16Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes.H6937H7140H7950H5956 17When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.H6256H2215H6789H2527H1846H4725 18The paths of their way turn aside, They go nowhere and perish.H734H1870H3943H5927H8414H6 19The caravans of Tema look, The travelers of Sheba hope for them.H734H8485H5027H1979H7614H6960 20They are disappointed because they were confident; They come there and are confused.H954H982H935H2659 21For now you are nothing, You see terror and are afraid.H7200H2866H3372 22Did I ever say, 'Bring something to me'? Or, 'Offer a bribe for me from your wealth'?H559H3051H7809H3581 23Or, 'Deliver me from the enemy's hand'? Or, 'Redeem me from the hand of oppressors'?H4422H6862H3027H6299H3027H6184 24"Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.H3384H2790H995H7686 25How forceful are right words! But what does your arguing prove?H4834H3476H561H3198H3198 26Do you intend to rebuke my words, And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?H2803H3198H4405H561H2976H7307 27Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, And you undermine your friend.H5307H3490H3738H7453 28Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; For I would never lie to your face.H2974H6437H6440H3576 29Yield now, let there be no injustice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!H7725H5766H7725H6664 30Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern the unsavory?H3426H5766H3956H2441H995H1942
