Job Replies: My Complaint Is Just

6Then Job answered and said:H347H6030H559 2"Oh that my vexation were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!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 in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.H2671H7706H5978H2534H8354H7307H1161H433H6186 5Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass, or the ox low over his fodder?H6501H5101H1877H1600H7794H1098 6Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there any taste in the juice of the mallow?H8602H398H4417H3426H2940H7388H2495 7My appetite refuses to touch them; they are as food that is loathsome to me.H5315H3985H5060H1741H3899 8"Oh that I might have my request, and that God would fulfill my hope,H935H7596H433H5414H8615 9that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!H2974H433H1792H5425H3027H1214 10This would be my comfort; I would even exult in pain unsparing, for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.H5165H5539H2427H2550H3582H561H6918 11What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?H3581H3176H7093H748H5315 12Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?H3581H3581H68H1320H5153 13Have I any help in me, when resource is driven from me?H5833H8454H5080 14"He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.H4523H2617H7453H5800H3374H7706 15My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as torrential streams that pass away,H251H898H5158H650H5158H5674 16which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.H6937H7140H7950H5956 17When they melt, they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.H6256H2215H6789H2527H1846H4725 18The caravans turn aside from their course; they go up into the waste and perish.H734H1870H3943H5927H8414H6 19The caravans of Tema look, the travelers of Sheba hope.H734H8485H5027H1979H7614H6960 20They are ashamed because they were confident; they come there and are disappointed.H954H982H935H2659 21For you have now become nothing; you see my calamity and are afraid.H7200H2866H3372 22Have I said, 'Make me a gift'? Or, 'From your wealth offer a bribe for me'?H559H3051H7809H3581 23Or, 'Deliver me from the adversary's hand'? Or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the ruthless'?H4422H6862H3027H6299H3027H6184 24"Teach me, and I will be silent; make me understand how I have gone astray.H3384H2790H995H7686 25How forceful are upright words! But what does reproof from you reprove?H4834H3476H561H3198H3198 26Do you think that you can reprove words, when the speech of a despairing man is wind?H2803H3198H4405H561H2976H7307 27You would even cast lots over the fatherless, and bargain over your friend.H5307H3490H3738H7453 28"But now, be pleased to look at me, for I will not lie to your face.H2974H6437H6440H3576 29Please turn; let no injustice be done. Turn now; my vindication is at stake.H7725H5766H7725H6664 30Is there any injustice on my tongue? Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?H3426H5766H3956H2441H995H1942
