Job Chapter[BR] 6

1 Then Job answered: 2 If only my grief could be weighed and my devastation placed with it on a scale. 3 For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas! That is why my words are rash. 4 Surely the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; my spirit drinks their poison. God's terrors are arrayed against me. 5 Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass or an ox low over its fodder? 6 Is bland food eaten without salt? Is there flavor in an egg white? 7 I refuse to touch *them ; they are like contaminated food. 8 If only my request would be granted and God would provide what I hope for: 9 that He would decide to crush me, to unleash His power and cut me off! 10 It would still bring me comfort, and I would leap for joy in unrelenting pain that I have not denied the words of the Holy One. 11 What strength do I have that I should continue to hope? What is my future, that I should be patient? 12 Is my strength that of stone, or my flesh made of bronze? 13 Since I cannot help myself, *the hope for success has been banished from me. 14 A despairing man should receive loyalty from his friends, even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty. 15 My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi, as seasonal streams that overflow 16 and become darkened because of ice, and the snow melts into them. 17 The wadis evaporate in warm weather; they disappear from their channels in hot weather. 18 Caravans turn away from their routes, go up into the desert, and perish. 19 The caravans of Tema look *for these streams . The traveling merchants of Sheba hope for them. 20 They are ashamed because they had been confident *of finding water . When they arrive there, they are frustrated. 21 So *this is what you have now become to me . When you see something dreadful, you are afraid. 22 Have I ever said: Give me *something or Pay a bribe for me from your wealth 23 or Deliver me from the enemy's power or Redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless? 24 Teach me, and I will be silent. Help me understand what I did wrong. 25 How painful honest words can be! But what does your rebuke prove? 26 Do you think that you can disprove *my words or that a despairing man's words are mere wind? 27 No doubt you would cast *lots for a fatherless child and negotiate a price to sell your friend. 28 But now, please look at me; would I lie to your face? 29 Reconsider; don't be unjust. Reconsider; my righteousness is still the issue. 30 Am I lying, or can I not recognize lies?
