Job 6
Authorized King James Version (1769) with AI Commentary
1But Job answered and said,🔗🔍
2Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!🔗🔍
3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.🔗🔍
4For 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.🔗🔍
5Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?🔗🔍
6Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?🔗🔍
7The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.🔗🔍
8Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!🔗🔍
9Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!🔗🔍
10Then 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.🔗🔍
11What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?🔗🔍
12Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?🔗🔍
13Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?🔗🔍
14To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.🔗🔍
15My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;🔗🔍
16Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:🔗🔍
17What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.🔗🔍
18The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.🔗🔍
19The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.🔗🔍
20They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.🔗🔍
21For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.🔗🔍
22Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?🔗🔍
23Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?🔗🔍
24Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.🔗🔍
25How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?🔗🔍
26Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?🔗🔍
27Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.🔗🔍
28Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.🔗🔍
29Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.🔗🔍
30Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?🔗🔍
2Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!🔗🔍
3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.🔗🔍
4For 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.🔗🔍
