1Then Job^H347 answered,^H6030
2"Oh^H3863 that my vexation^H9213 were actually^H8254 weighed,^H8254 And laid^H5375 in the balances^H3976 together^H3162 with my iniquity!^H1942
3"For then^H6258 it would be heavier^H3513 than^H4480 the sand^H2344 of the seas,^H3220 Therefore^H5921H3651 my words^H1697 have been^H9236 rash.^H9236
4"For the arrows^H2671 of the Almighty^H7706 are within^H5973 me; Their poison^H2534 my spirit^H7307 drinks;^H8354 The terrors^H1161 of God^H433 are arrayed^H6186 against me.
5"Does the wild^H6501 donkey^H6501 bray^H5101 over^H5921 [his] grass,^H1877 Or^H518 does the ox^H7794 low^H1600 over^H5921 his fodder^H1098?
6"Can something^H8602 tasteless^H8602 be eaten^H398 without^H1097 salt,^H4417 Or^H518 is there^H3426 any^H3426 taste^H2940 in the white^H2495 of an egg^H2495?
7"My soul^H5315 refuses^H3985 to touch^H5060 [them;] They are like loathsome^H1741 food^H3899 to me.
8"Oh^H4310H5414 that my request^H7596 might come^H935 to pass,^H935 And that God^H433 would grant^H5414 my longing!^H8615
9"Would that God^H433 were willing^H2974 to crush^H1792 me; That He would loose^H5425 His hand^H3027 and cut^H1214 me off!^H1214
10"But it is still^H5750 my consolation,^H5165 And I rejoice^H5539 in unsparing^H3808H2550 pain,^H9133 That I have not denied^H3582 the words^H561 of the Holy^H6918 One.^H6918
11"What^H4100 is my strength,^H3581 that I should wait^H3176? And what^H4100 is my end,^H7093 that I should endure^H748H5315?
12"Is my strength^H3581 the strength^H3581 of stones,^H68 Or^H518 is my flesh^H1320 bronze^H5153?
13"Is it that my help^H5833 is not within me, And that deliverance^H8454 is driven^H5080 from me?
14"For the despairing^H4523 man^H4523 [there should be] kindness^H2617 from his friend;^H7453 Lest he forsake^H5800 the fear^H3374 of the Almighty.^H7706
15"My brothers^H251 have acted^H898 deceitfully^H898 like^H3644 a wadi,^H5158 Like the torrents^H650 of wadis^H5158 which vanish,^H5674
16Which are turbid^H6937 because^H4480 of ice,^H7140 [And] into which the snow^H7950 melts.^H5956
17"When^H6256 they become^H2215 waterless,^H2215 they are silent,^H6789 When it is hot,^H2552 they vanish^H1846 from their place.^H4725
18"The paths^H734 of their course^H1870 wind^H3943 along,^H3943 They go^H5927 up into nothing^H8414 and perish.
19"The caravans^H734 of Tema^H8485 looked,^H5027 The travelers^H1979 of Sheba^H7614 hoped^H6960 for them.
20"They were disappointed^H954 for they had trusted,^H982 They came^H935 there^H5704 and were confounded.^H2659
21"Indeed,^H3588 you have now^H6258 become^H1961 such,^H3808 You see^H7200 a terror^H2866 and are afraid.^H3372
22"Have I said,^H559 'Give^H3051 me [something,'] Or, 'Offer^H7809 a bribe^H7809 for me from your wealth,^H3581'
23Or, 'Deliver^H4422 me from the hand^H3027 of the adversary,^H6862' Or, 'Redeem^H6299 me from the hand^H3027 of the tyrants^H6184'?
24"Teach^H3384 me, and I will be silent;^H2790 And show^H995 me how^H4100 I have erred.^H7686
25"How^H4100 painful^H4834 are honest^H3476 words!^H561 But what^H4100 does your argument^H3198 prove^H3198?
26"Do you intend^H2803 to reprove^H3198 [my] words,^H561 When the words^H4405 of one in despair^H2976 belong to the wind^H7307?
27"You would even^H637 cast^H5307 [lots] for the orphans,^H3490 And barter^H3739 over^H5921 your friend.^H7453
28"And now^H6258 please^H2974 look^H6437 at me, And [see] if^H518 I lie^H3576 to your face.^H6440
29"Desist^H7725 now,^H4994 let there be no^H408 injustice;^H9390 Even desist,^H7725 my righteousness^H6664 is yet^H5750 in it.
30"Is there^H3426 injustice^H9390 on my tongue^H3956? Cannot^H3808 my palate^H2441 discern^H995 calamities^H1942?
