Job 6:12-25
-
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
-
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
-
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
-
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
-
16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
-
17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
-
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
-
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
-
20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
-
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
-
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
-
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
-
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
-
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
