Job 6:8-30

6:8

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}

6:9

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)_!

6:10

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>_.

6:11

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>_?

6:12

[Is] my strength
<03581>

the strength
<03581>

of stones
<068>_?

or [is] my flesh
<01320>

of brass
<05153>_?

{of brass: Heb. brasen?}

6:13

[Is] not my help
<05833>

in me? and is wisdom
<08454>

driven quite
<05080> (8738)

from me?

6:14

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}

6:15

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)_;

6:16

Which are blackish
<06937> (8802)

by reason of the ice
<07140>_,

[and] wherein the snow
<07950>

is hid
<05956> (8691)_:

6:17

What time
<06256>

they wax warm
<02215> (8792)_,

they vanish
<06789> (8738)_:

when it is hot
<02527>_,

they are consumed out
<01846> (8738)

of their place
<04725>_.

{vanish: Heb. are cut off} {when...: Heb. in the heat thereof} {consumed: Heb. extinguished}

6:18

The paths
<0734>

of their way
<01870>

are turned aside
<03943> (8735)_;

they go
<05927> (8799)

to nothing
<08414>_,

and perish
<06> (8799)_.

6:19

The troops
<0734>

of Tema
<08485>

looked
<05027> (8689)_,

the companies
<01979>

of Sheba
<07614>

waited
<06960> (8765)

for them.

6:20

They were confounded
<0954> (8804)

because they had hoped
<0982> (8804)_;

they came
<0935> (8804)

thither, and were ashamed
<02659> (8799)_.

6:21

For now ye are nothing; ye see
<07200> (8799)

[my] casting down
<02866>_,

and are afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

{ye are...: or, ye are like to them: Heb. to it} {nothing: Heb. not}

6:22

Did I say
<0559> (8804)_,

Bring
<03051> (8798)

unto me? or, Give a reward
<07809> (8798)

for me of your substance
<03581>_?

6:23

Or, Deliver
<04422> (8761)

me from the enemy's
<06862>

hand
<03027>_?

or, Redeem
<06299> (8799)

me from the hand
<03027>

of the mighty
<06184>_?

6:24

Teach
<03384> (8685)

me, and I will hold my tongue
<02790> (8686)_:

and cause me to understand
<0995> (8685)

wherein I have erred
<07686> (8804)_.

6:25

How forcible
<04834> (8738)

are right
<03476>

words
<0561>_!

but what doth your arguing
<03198> (8687)

reprove
<03198> (8686)_?

6:26

Do ye imagine
<02803> (8799)

to reprove
<03198> (8687)

words
<04405>_,

and the speeches
<0561>

of one that is desperate
<02976> (8737)_,

[which are] as wind
<07307>_?

6:27

Yea, ye overwhelm
<05307> (8686)

the fatherless
<03490>_,

and ye dig
<03738> (8799)

[a pit] for your friend
<07453>_.

{ye overwhelm: Heb. ye cause to fall upon}

6:28

Now therefore be content
<02974> (8685)_,

look
<06437> (8798)

upon me; for [it is] evident
<06440>

unto you if I lie
<03576> (8762)_.

{evident...: Heb. before your face}

6:29

Return
<07725> (8798)_,

I pray you, let it not be iniquity
<05766>_;

yea, return again
<07725> (8798)_,

my righteousness
<06664>

[is] in it. {in it: that is, in this matter}

6:30

Is there
<03426>

iniquity
<05766>

in my tongue
<03956>_?

cannot my taste
<02441>

discern
<0995> (8799)

perverse things
<01942>_?

{my taste: Heb. my palate}
