Good News Translation Help
6If my troublesH347H6030H559
2and griefs were weighed on scales,H3863H3708H8254H8254H1942H1962H5375H3976H3162
3they would weigh more than the sands of the sea, so my wild words should not surprise you.H3513H2344H3220H1697H3886
4Almighty God has shot me with arrows, and their poison spreads through my body. God has lined up his terrors against me.H2671H7706H5978H2534H8354H7307H1161H433H6186
5A donkey is content when eating grass, and a cow is quiet when eating hay.H6501H5101H1877H1600H7794H1098
6But who can eat flat, unsalted food? What taste is there in the white of an egg?H8602H398H4417H3426H2940H7388H2495
7I have no appetite for food like that, and everything I eat makes me sick.H5315H3985H5060H1741H3899
8Why won't God give me what I ask? Why won't he answer my prayer?H935H7596H433H5414H8615
9If only he would go ahead and kill me!H2974H433H1792H5425H3027H1214
10If I knew he would, I would leap for joy, no matter how great my pain. I know that God is holy; I have never opposed what he commands.H5165H5539H2427H2550H3582H561H6918
11What strength do I have to keep on living? Why go on living when I have no hope?H3581H3176H7093H748H5315
12Am I made of stone? Is my body bronze?H3581H3581H68H1320H5153
13I have no strength left to save myself; there is nowhere I can turn for help.H5833H8454H5080
14In trouble like this I need loyal friends - whether I've forsaken God or not.H4523H2617H7453H5800H3374H7706
15But you, my friends, you deceive me like streams that go dry when no rain comes.H251H898H5158H650H5158H5674
16The streams are choked with snow and ice,H6937H7140H7950H5956
17but in the heat they disappear, and the stream beds lie bare and dry.H6256H2215H6789H2527H1846H4725
18Caravans get lost looking for water; they wander and die in the desert.H734H1870H3943H5927H8414H6
19Caravans from Sheba and Tema search,H734H8485H5027H1979H7614H6960
20but their hope dies beside dry streams.H954H982H935H2659
21You are like those streams to me, you see my fate and draw back in fear.H7200H2866H3372
22Have I asked you to give me a gift or to bribe someone on my behalfH559H3051H7809H3581
23or to save me from some enemy or tyrant?H4422H6862H3027H6299H3027H6184
24All right, teach me; tell me my faults. I will be quiet and listen to you.H3384H2790H995H7686
25Honest words are convincing, but you are talking nonsense.H4834H3476H561H3198H3198
26You think I am talking nothing but wind; then why do you answer my words of despair?H2803H3198H4405H561H2976H7307
27You would even roll dice for orphan slaves and make yourselves rich off your closest friends!H5307H3490H3738H7453
28Look me in the face. I won't lie.H2974H6437H6440H3576
29You have gone far enough. Stop being unjust. Don't condemn me. I'm in the right.H7725H5766H7725H6664
30But you think I am lying - you think I can't tell right from wrong.H3426H5766H3956H2441H995H1942
