CHAP. VI.
1 Iob sheweth that his complaints are not causelesse. 8 Hee wisheth for death, wherein he is assured of comfort. 14 He reprooueth his friends of vnkindnesse.
2Oh that my griefe were throughly weighed, and my calamitie layd in the balances together.2
3For now it would be heauier then the sand of the sea, therefore my words are swallowed vp.3
4For the arrowes of the Almightie are within me, the poyson whereof drinketh vp my spirit: the terrors of God doe set themselues in aray against mee.4
5Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe ouer his fodder?5
6Can that which is vnsauery, bee eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge?
7The things that my soule refused to touch, are as my sorrowfull meat.
8O that I might haue my request! and that God would graunt mee the thing that I long for!8
9Euen that it would please God to destroy mee, that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off.
11What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine ende, that I should prolong my life?
12Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brasse?12
13Is not my helpe in me? and is wisedome driuen quite from me?
14To him that is afflicted, pitie should be shewed from his friend; But he forsaketh the feare of the Almighty.14
15My brethren haue delt deceitfully as a brooke, & as the streame of brookes they passe away,
16Which are blackish by reason of the yce, and wherein the snow is hid:
17What time they waxe warme, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.17
18The pathes of their way are turned aside; they goe to nothing, and perish.
19The troupes 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 downe, and are afraid.21
22Did I say, Bring vnto mee? or giue a reward for me of your substance?
23Or deliuer me from the enemies hand, or redeeme me from the hand of the mighty?
24Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause mee to vnderstand wherein I haue erred.
25How forcible are right wordes? but what doeth your arguing reproue?
26Do ye imagine to reproue words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as winde?
27Yea, ye ouerwhelme the fatherlesse, and you digge a pit for your friend.27
28Now therefore be content, looke vpon mee, for it is euident vnto you, if I lie.28
29Returne, I pray you, let it not be iniquitie; yea returne againe: my righteousnesse is in it.29
30Is there iniquitie in my tongue? cannot my taste discerne peruerse things?30
