Job 6:9-17
English Standard Version
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,
16 which are dark with ice,
and where the snow hides itself.
17 When they melt, they disappear;
when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
