Job’s Friends Are No Help

6Then Job answered,H347H6030H559 2"Oh that my vexation were actually weighed, And laid in the balances together with my iniquity!H3863H3708H8254H8254H1942H1962H5375H3976H3162 3"For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, Therefore my words have been rash.H3513H2344H3220H1697H3886 4"For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; Their poison my spirit drinks; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.H2671H7706H5978H2534H8354H7307H1161H433H6186 5"Does the wild donkey bray over [his] grass, Or does the ox low over his fodder?H6501H5101H1877H1600H7794H1098 6"Can something tasteless be eaten without salt, Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?H8602H398H4417H3426H2940H7388H2495 7"My soul refuses to touch [them;] They are like loathsome food to me.H5315H3985H5060H1741H3899 8"Oh that my request might come to pass, And that God would grant my longing!H935H7596H433H5414H8615 9"Would that God were willing to crush me; That He would loose His hand and cut me off!H2974H433H1792H5425H3027H1214 10"But it is still my consolation, And I rejoice in unsparing pain, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.H5165H5539H2427H2550H3582H561H6918 11"What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should endure?H3581H3176H7093H748H5315 12"Is my strength the strength of stones, Or is my flesh bronze?H3581H3581H68H1320H5153 13"Is it that my help is not within me, And that deliverance is driven from me?H5833H8454H5080 14"For the despairing man [there should be] kindness from his friend; Lest he forsake the fear of the Almighty.H4523H2617H7453H5800H3374H7706 15"My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi, Like the torrents of wadis which vanish,H251H898H5158H650H5158H5674 16Which are turbid because of ice, [And] into which the snow melts.H6937H7140H7950H5956 17"When they become waterless, they are silent, When it is hot, they vanish from their place.H6256H2215H6789H2527H1846H4725 18"The paths of their course wind along, They go up into nothing and perish.H734H1870H3943H5927H8414H6 19"The caravans of Tema looked, The travelers of Sheba hoped for them.H734H8485H5027H1979H7614H6960 20"They were disappointed for they had trusted, They came there and were confounded.H954H982H935H2659 21"Indeed, you have now become such, You see a terror and are afraid.H7200H2866H3372 22"Have I said, 'Give me [something,'] Or, 'Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,'H559H3051H7809H3581 23Or, 'Deliver me from the hand of the adversary,' Or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants'?H4422H6862H3027H6299H3027H6184 24"Teach me, and I will be silent; And show me how I have erred.H3384H2790H995H7686 25"How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?H4834H3476H561H3198H3198 26"Do you intend to reprove [my] words, When the words of one in despair belong to the wind?H2803H3198H4405H561H2976H7307 27"You would even cast [lots] for the orphans, And barter over your friend.H5307H3490H3738H7453 28"And now please look at me, And [see] if I lie to your face.H2974H6437H6440H3576 29"Desist now, let there be no injustice; Even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.H7725H5766H7725H6664 30"Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my palate discern calamities?H3426H5766H3956H2441H995H1942
