Job 6:1--7:21

6:1

But Job
<0347>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

6:2

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}

6:3

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}

6:4

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.

6:5

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?}

6:6

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>_?

6:7

The things [that] my soul
<05315>

refused
<03985> (8765)

to touch
<05060> (8800)

[are] as my sorrowful
<01741>

meat
<03899>_.

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}

7:1

[Is there] not an appointed time
<06635>

to man
<0582>

upon earth
<0776>_?

[are not] his days
<03117>

also like the days
<03117>

of an hireling
<07916>_?

{an appointed...: or, a warfare}

7:2

As a servant
<05650>

earnestly desireth
<07602> (8799)

the shadow
<06738>_,

and as an hireling
<07916>

looketh
<06960> (8762)

for [the reward of] his work
<06467>_:

{earnestly...: Heb. gapeth after}

7:3

So am I made to possess
<05157> (8717)

months
<03391>

of vanity
<07723>_,

and wearisome
<05999>

nights
<03915>

are appointed
<04487> (8765)

to me.

7:4

When I lie down
<07901> (8804)_,

I say
<0559> (8804)_,

When shall I arise
<06965> (8799)_,

and the night
<06153>

be gone
<04059>_?

and I am full
<07646> (8804)

of tossings to and fro
<05076>

unto the dawning of the day
<05399>_.

{the night...: Heb. the evening be measured?}

7:5

My flesh
<01320>

is clothed
<03847> (8804)

with worms
<07415>

and clods
<01487>

of dust
<06083>_;

my skin
<05785>

is broken
<07280> (8804)_,

and become loathsome
<03988> (8735)_.

7:6

My days
<03117>

are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than a weaver's shuttle
<0708>_,

and are spent
<03615> (8799)

without
<0657>

hope
<08615>_.

7:7

O remember
<02142> (8798)

that my life
<02416>

[is] wind
<07307>_:

mine eye
<05869>

shall no more
<07725> (8799)

see
<07200> (8800)

good
<02896>_.

{shall...: Heb. shall not return} {see: to see, that is, to enjoy}

7:8

The eye
<05869>

of him that hath seen
<07210>

me shall see
<07789> (8799)

me no [more]: thine eyes
<05869>

[are] upon me, and I [am] not. {I am...: that is, I can live no longer}

7:9

[As] the cloud
<06051>

is consumed
<03615> (8804)

and vanisheth away
<03212> (8799)_:

so he that goeth down
<03381> (8802)

to the grave
<07585>

shall come up
<05927> (8799)

no [more].

7:10

He shall return
<07725> (8799)

no more to his house
<01004>_,

neither shall his place
<04725>

know
<05234> (8686)

him any more.

7:11

Therefore I will not refrain
<02820> (8799)

my mouth
<06310>_;

I will speak
<01696> (8762)

in the anguish
<06862>

of my spirit
<07307>_;

I will complain
<07878> (8799)

in the bitterness
<04751>

of my soul
<05315>_.

7:12

[Am] I a sea
<03220>_,

or a whale
<08577>_,

that thou settest
<07760> (8799)

a watch
<04929>

over me?

7:13

When I say
<0559> (8804)_,

My bed
<06210>

shall comfort
<05162> (8762)

me, my couch
<04904>

shall ease
<05375> (8799)

my complaint
<07879>_;

7:14

Then thou scarest
<02865> (8765)

me with dreams
<02472>_,

and terrifiest
<01204> (8762)

me through visions
<02384>_:

7:15

So that my soul
<05315>

chooseth
<0977> (8799)

strangling
<04267>_,

[and] death
<04194>

rather than my life
<06106>_.

{life: Heb. bones}

7:16

I loathe
<03988> (8804)

[it]; I would not live
<02421> (8799)

alway
<05769>_:

let me alone
<02308> (8798)_;

for my days
<03117>

[are] vanity
<01892>_.

7:17

What [is] man
<0582>_,

that thou shouldest magnify
<01431> (8762)

him? and that thou shouldest set
<07896> (8799)

thine heart
<03820>

upon him?

7:18

And [that] thou shouldest visit
<06485> (8799)

him every morning
<01242>_,

[and] try
<0974> (8799)

him every moment
<07281>_?

7:19

How long
<04100>

wilt thou not depart
<08159> (8799)

from me, nor let me alone
<07503> (8686)

till I swallow down
<01104> (8800)

my spittle
<07536>_?

7:20

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_;

what shall I do
<06466> (8799)

unto thee, O thou preserver
<05341> (8802)

of men
<0120>_?

why hast thou set
<07760> (8804)

me as a mark
<04645>

against thee, so that I am a burden
<04853>

to myself?

7:21

And why dost thou not pardon
<05375> (8799)

my transgression
<06588>_,

and take away
<05674> (8686)

mine iniquity
<05771>_?

for now shall I sleep
<07901> (8799)

in the dust
<06083>_;

and thou shalt seek me in the morning
<07836> (8765)_,

but I [shall] not [be].
