Chapter 6
Job YLT 6:2  O that my provocation were thoroughly weighed, And my calamity in balances They would lift up together!
Job YLT 6:3  For now, than the sands of the sea it is heavier, Therefore my words have been rash.
Job YLT 6:4  For arrows of the Mighty are with me, Whose poison is drinking up my spirit. Terrors of God array themselves for me!
Job YLT 6:5  Brayeth a wild ass over tender grass? Loweth an ox over his provender?
Job YLT 6:6  Eaten is an insipid thing without salt? Is there sense in the drivel of dreams?
Job YLT 6:7  My soul is refusing to touch! They are as my sickening food.
Job YLT 6:8  O that my request may come, That God may grant my hope!
Job YLT 6:9  That God would please--and bruise me, Loose His hand and cut me off!
Job YLT 6:10  And yet it is my comfort, (And I exult in pain--He doth not spare,) That I have not hidden The sayings of the Holy One.
Job YLT 6:11  What is my power that I should hope? And what mine end That I should prolong my life?
Job YLT 6:12  Is my strength the strength of stones? Is my flesh brazen?
Job YLT 6:13  Is not my help with me, And substance driven from me?
Job YLT 6:14  To a despiser of his friends is shame, And the fear of the Mighty he forsaketh.
Job YLT 6:15  My brethren have deceived as a brook, As a stream of brooks they pass away.
Job YLT 6:16  That are black because of ice, By them doth snow hide itself.
Job YLT 6:17  By the time they are warm they have been cut off, By its being hot they have been Extinguished from their place.
Job YLT 6:18  Turn aside do the paths of their way, They ascend into emptiness, and are lost.
Job YLT 6:19  Passengers of Tema looked expectingly, Travellers of Sheba hoped for them.
Job YLT 6:20  They were ashamed that one hath trusted, They have come unto it and are confounded.
Job YLT 6:21  Surely now ye have become the same! Ye see a downfall, and are afraid.
Job YLT 6:22  Is it because I said, Give to me? And, By your power bribe for me?
Job YLT 6:23  And, Deliver me from the hand of an adversary? And, From the hand of terrible ones ransom me?
Job YLT 6:24  Shew me, and I--I keep silent, And what I have erred, let me understand.
Job YLT 6:25  How powerful have been upright sayings, And what doth reproof from you reprove?
Job YLT 6:26  For reproof--do you reckon words? And for wind--sayings of the desperate.
Job YLT 6:27  Anger on the fatherless ye cause to fall, And are strange to your friend.
Job YLT 6:28  And, now, please, look upon me, Even to your face do I lie?
Job YLT 6:29  Turn back, I pray you, let it not be perverseness, Yea, turn back again--my righteousness is in it.
Job YLT 6:30  Is there in my tongue perverseness? Discerneth not my palate desirable things?
