But Job answered and said,

2

Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!

WhatsApp Copy

3

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

WhatsApp Copy

4

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

WhatsApp Copy

5

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

WhatsApp Copy

6

Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

WhatsApp Copy

7

The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.

WhatsApp Copy

8

Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

WhatsApp Copy

9

Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

WhatsApp Copy

10

Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

WhatsApp Copy

11

What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?

WhatsApp Copy

12

Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?

WhatsApp Copy

13

Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?

WhatsApp Copy

14

To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

WhatsApp Copy

15

My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;

WhatsApp Copy

16

Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:

WhatsApp Copy

17

What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

WhatsApp Copy

18

The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.

WhatsApp Copy

19

The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.

WhatsApp Copy

20

They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.

WhatsApp Copy

21

For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.

WhatsApp Copy

22

Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?

WhatsApp Copy

23

Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

WhatsApp Copy

24

Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

WhatsApp Copy

25

How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

WhatsApp Copy

26

Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

WhatsApp Copy

27

Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.

WhatsApp Copy

28

Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.

WhatsApp Copy

29

Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.

WhatsApp Copy

30

Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
