Job’s Reply to Eliphaz

6Then Job answered:H347H6030H559
2If only my grief could be weighed and my devastation placed with it on a scale.H3863H3708H8254H8254H1942H1962H5375H3976H3162
3For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas! That is why my words are rash.H3513H2344H3220H1697H3886
4Surely the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; my spirit drinks their poison. God's terrors are arrayed against me.H2671H7706H5978H2534H8354H7307H1161H433H6186
5Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass or an ox low over its fodder?H6501H5101H1877H1600H7794H1098
6Is bland food eaten without salt? Is there flavor in an egg white?H8602H398H4417H3426H2940H7388H2495
7I refuse to touch [them]; they are like contaminated food.H5315H3985H5060H1741H3899
8If only my request would be granted and God would provide what I hope for:H935H7596H433H5414H8615
9that He would decide to crush me, to unleash His power and cut me off!H2974H433H1792H5425H3027H1214
10It would still bring me comfort, and I would leap for joy in unrelenting pain that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.H5165H5539H2427H2550H3582H561H6918
11What strength do I have that I should continue to hope? What is my future, that I should be patient?H3581H3176H7093H748H5315
12Is my strength that of stone, or my flesh made of bronze?H3581H3581H68H1320H5153
13Since I cannot help myself, [the hope for] success has been banished from me.H5833H8454H5080
14A despairing man should receive loyalty from his friends, even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty.H4523H2617H7453H5800H3374H7706
15My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi, as seasonal streams that overflowH251H898H5158H650H5158H5674
16and become darkened because of ice, and the snow melts into them.H6937H7140H7950H5956
17The wadis evaporate in warm weather; they disappear from their channels in hot weather.H6256H2215H6789H2527H1846H4725
18Caravans turn away from their routes, go up into the desert, and perish.H734H1870H3943H5927H8414H6
19The caravans of Tema look [for these streams]. The traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them.H734H8485H5027H1979H7614H6960
20They are ashamed because they had been confident [of finding water]. When they arrive there, they are frustrated.H954H982H935H2659
21So [this] is what you have now become [to me]. When you see something dreadful, you are afraid.H7200H2866H3372
22Have I ever said: Give me [something] or Pay a bribe for me from your wealthH559H3051H7809H3581
23or Deliver me from the enemy's power or Redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless?H4422H6862H3027H6299H3027H6184
24Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand what I did wrong.H3384H2790H995H7686
25How painful honest words can be! But what does your rebuke prove?H4834H3476H561H3198H3198
26Do you think that you can disprove [my] words or that a despairing man's words are [mere] wind?H2803H3198H4405H561H2976H7307
27No doubt you would cast [lots] for a fatherless child and negotiate a price to [sell] your friend.H5307H3490H3738H7453
28But now, please look at me; would I lie to your face?H2974H6437H6440H3576
29Reconsider; don't be unjust. Reconsider; my righteousness is still the issue.H7725H5766H7725H6664
30Am I lying, or can I not recognize lies?H3426H5766H3956H2441H995H1942
