ULT JOB Chapter 6

◄ JOB 6 ► ║ ═ ©

6 And Job answered and said,

2 “If only my anguish, being weighed, were weighed,

and my calamity lay in the balances together with it!

3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas;

therefore my words raved.

4 For the arrows of Shaddai are in me,

whose poison my spirit is drinking;

the terrors of God array themselves against me.

5 Does a wild donkey bray over grass?

If an ox bellows over its fodder?

6 Will the unsavory be eaten without salt?

If there is taste in the white of an egg?

7 My soul has refused to touch;

they are like disease in my food.

8 Who will grant that my request may come?

And may God grant my longing

9 and may God be willing and may he crush me,

may he loose his hand and cut me off!

10 Yet may it still be my consolation—

indeed, let me exult in pain, may he not spare—

that I have not concealed the sayings of the Holy One.

11 What is my strength, that I should wait?

And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?

12 If my strength is the strength of stones?

If my flesh is bronze?

13 If my help is not in me,

and initiative has been taken away from me?

14 To the despairing, covenant faithfulness from his friend,

and the fear of Shaddai he forsakes.

15 My brothers have dealt treacherously like a wadi,

like a channel of wadis they pass away,

16 the ones being dark from ice over it,

it hides itself with snow.

17 In the time they dry up, they are annihilated;

in their being hot, they are exterminated from their place.

18 Caravans turn themselves aside from their way;

they go up into wasteland and they perish.

19 Caravans from Tema looked;

processions of Sheba hoped in them.

20 They were ashamed, because they had been confident;

they went as far as it and they were confounded.

21 For now you are nothing;

you see a terror and you fear.

22 Is it that I said, ‘Give me something’?

Or, ‘Make a gift to me from your wealth’?

23 Or, ‘Save me from the hand of the enemy’?

Or, ‘From the hand of the oppressors rescue me’?

24 Teach me, and I will be silent,

and how I have strayed, make me understand.

25 How words of uprightness are forceful!

But what does correcting from you correct?

26 Do you think to correct my words,

and to the wind the words of one despairing?

27 Indeed, you cast lots for the fatherless,

and you haggle over your friend.

28 But now, be willing, look at me,

and if I would lie to your faces!

29 Please turn, let injustice not be;

yes, turn, my righteousness is yet in it.

30 Is there injustice on my tongue?

If my mouth does not discern iniquity?
