Job 6:1-10
-
1 But Job answered and said,
-
2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
-
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
-
4 For 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.
-
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
-
6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
-
7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
-
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
-
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
-
10 Then 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.
