Job 6:1-4
English Standard Version
Job Replies: My Complaint Is Just
6 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Oh that my vexation were weighed,
and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 For then it would be heavier than (A)the sand of the sea;
therefore my words have been rash.
4 For (B)the arrows of the Almighty are in me;
my spirit drinks their poison;
the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
Job 6:8-15
English Standard Version
8 “Oh that I might have my request,
and that God would fulfill my hope,
9 that it would (A)please God to crush me,
that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
10 This would be my comfort;
I would even exult[a] in pain (B)unsparing,
for I have not denied the words of (C)the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I should be patient?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
13 Have I any help in me,
when resource is driven from me?
14 “He who (D)withholds[b] kindness from a (E)friend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My (F)brothers are (G)treacherous as a torrent-bed,
as torrential (H)streams that pass away,
Job 6:21
English Standard Version
21 For you have now become nothing;
you see my calamity and are afraid.
