Job 6:1-15

But Job
<0347>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Oh that
<03863>
my grief
<03708>
were throughly
<08254> (8800)
weighed
<08254> (8735)_,
and my calamity
<01942> (8675) <01962>
laid
<05375> (8799)
in the balances
<03976>
together
<03162>_!
{laid: Heb. lifted up}
For now it would be heavier
<03513> (8799)
than the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>_:
therefore my words
<01697>
are swallowed up
<03886> (8804)_.
{my words...: that is, I want words to express my grief}
For the arrows
<02671>
of the Almighty
<07706>
[are] within
<05978>
me, the poison
<02534>
whereof drinketh up
<08354> (8802)
my spirit
<07307>_:
the terrors
<01161>
of God
<0433>
do set themselves in array
<06186> (8799)
against me.
Doth the wild ass
<06501>
bray
<05101> (8799)
when he hath grass
<01877>_?
or loweth
<01600> (8799)
the ox
<07794>
over his fodder
<01098>_?
{when he...: Heb. at grass?}
Can that which is unsavoury
<08602>
be eaten
<0398> (8735)
without salt
<04417>_?
or is there
<03426>
[any] taste
<02940>
in the white
<07388>
of an egg
<02495>_?
The things [that] my soul
<05315>
refused
<03985> (8765)
to touch
<05060> (8800)
[are] as my sorrowful
<01741>
meat
<03899>_.
Oh that I might have
<0935> (8799)
my request
<07596>_;
and that God
<0433>
would grant
<05414> (8799)
[me] the thing that I long for
<08615>_!
{the thing...: Heb. my expectation}
Even that it would please
<02974> (8686)
God
<0433>
to destroy
<01792> (8762)
me; that he would let loose
<05425> (8686)
his hand
<03027>_,
and cut me off
<01214> (8762)_!
Then should I yet have comfort
<05165>_;
yea, I would harden
<05539> (8762)
myself in sorrow
<02427>_:
let him not spare
<02550> (8799)_;
for I have not concealed
<03582> (8765)
the words
<0561>
of the Holy One
<06918>_.
What [is] my strength
<03581>_,
that I should hope
<03176> (8762)_?
and what [is] mine end
<07093>_,
that I should prolong
<0748> (8686)
my life
<05315>_?
[Is] my strength
<03581>
the strength
<03581>
of stones
<068>_?
or [is] my flesh
<01320>
of brass
<05153>_?
{of brass: Heb. brasen?}
[Is] not my help
<05833>
in me? and is wisdom
<08454>
driven quite
<05080> (8738)
from me?
To him that is afflicted
<04523>
pity
<02617>
[should be shewed] from his friend
<07453>_;
but he forsaketh
<05800> (8799)
the fear
<03374>
of the Almighty
<07706>_.
{is afflicted: Heb. melteth}
My brethren
<0251>
have dealt deceitfully
<0898> (8804)
as a brook
<05158>_,
[and] as the stream
<0650>
of brooks
<05158>
they pass away
<05674> (8799)_;
