| The Book of Job 6 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Basic English Online Bible (BEN) | ||||||||||||||||
| Job 6:1 | And Job made answer and said, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:2 | If only my passion might be measured, and put into the scales against my trouble! | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:3 | For then its weight would be more than the sand of the seas: because of this my words have been uncontrolled. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:4 | For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:5 | Does the ass of the fields give out his voice when he has grass? or does the ox make sounds over his food? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:6 | Will a man take food which has no taste without salt? or is there any taste in the soft substance of purslain? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:7 | My soul has no desire for such things, they are as disease in my food. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:8 | If only I might have an answer to my prayer, and God would give me my desire! | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:9 | If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off! | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:10 | So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:11 | Have I strength to go on waiting, or have I any end to be looking forward to? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:12 | Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh brass? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:13 | I have no help in myself, and wisdom is completely gone from me. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:14 | He whose heart is shut against his friend has given up the fear of the Ruler of all. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:15 | My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:16 | Which are dark because of the ice, and the snow falling into them; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:17 | Under the burning sun they are cut off, and come to nothing because of the heat. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:18 | The camel-trains go out of their way; they go up into the waste and come to destruction. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:19 | The camel-trains of Tema were searching with care, the bands of Sheba were waiting for them: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:20 | They were put to shame because of their hope; they came and their hope was gone. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:21 | So have you now become to me; you see my sad condition and are in fear. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:22 | Did I say, Give me something? or, Make a payment for me out of your wealth? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:23 | Or, Get me out of the power of my hater? or, Give money so that I may be free from the power of the cruel ones? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:24 | Give me teaching and I will be quiet; and make me see my error. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:25 | How pleasing are upright words! but what force is there in your arguments? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:26 | My words may seem wrong to you, but the words of him who has no hope are for the wind. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:27 | Truly, you are such as would give up the child of a dead man to his creditors, and would make a profit out of your friend. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:28 | Now then, let your eyes be turned to me, for truly I will not say what is false to your face. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:29 | Let your minds be changed, and do not have an evil opinion of me; yes, be changed, for my righteousness is still in me. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 6:30 | Is there evil in my tongue? is not the cause of my trouble clear to me? | |||||||||||||||
