1But Job answered and said,studyinterlinear
2Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!studyinterlinear
3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.studyinterlinear
4For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.studyinterlinear
5Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?studyinterlinear
6Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?studyinterlinear
7The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.studyinterlinear
8Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!studyinterlinear
9Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!studyinterlinear
10Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.studyinterlinear
11What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?studyinterlinear
12Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?studyinterlinear
13Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?studyinterlinear
14To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.studyinterlinear
15My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;studyinterlinear
16Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:studyinterlinear
17What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.studyinterlinear
18The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.studyinterlinear
19The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.studyinterlinear
20They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.studyinterlinear
21For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.studyinterlinear
22Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?studyinterlinear
23Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?studyinterlinear
24Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.studyinterlinear
25How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?studyinterlinear
26Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?studyinterlinear
27Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.studyinterlinear
28Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.studyinterlinear
29Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.studyinterlinear
30Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?studyinterlinear
