Job 6:9 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 Then Job answered:
2 "O that my vexation were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5 Does the wild ass bray when he has grass, or the ox low over his fodder?
6 Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there any taste in the slime of the purslane?
7 My appetite refuses to touch them; they are as food that is loathsome to me.
8 "O that I might have my request, and that God would grant my desire;
9 that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
10 This would be my consolation; I would even exult in pain unsparing; for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
13 In truth I have no help in me, and any resource is driven from me.
14 "He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as freshets that pass away,
16 which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.
17 In time of heat they disappear; when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 The caravans turn aside from their course; they go up into the waste, and perish.
19 The caravans of Tema look, the travelers of Sheba hope.
20 They are disappointed because they were confident; they come thither and are confounded.
21 Such you have now become to me; you see my calamity, and are afraid.
22 Have I said, `Make me a gift'? Or, `From your wealth offer a bribe for me'?
23 Or, `Deliver me from the adversary's hand'? Or, `Ransom me from the hand of oppressors'?
24 "Teach me, and I will be silent; make me understand how I have erred.
25 How forceful are honest words! But what does reproof from you reprove?
26 Do you think that you can reprove words, when the speech of a despairing man is wind?
27 You would even cast lots over the fatherless, and bargain over your friend.
28 "But now, be pleased to look at me; for I will not lie to your face.
29 Turn, I pray, let no wrong be done. Turn now, my vindication is at stake.
30 Is there any wrong on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern calamity?
1 But Job H347 EMS answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS ,
2 Oh that H3863 CONJ my grief H3708 CMS-1MS were throughly weighed H8254 VQFC , and my calamity H1942 laid H5375 VQY3MP in the balances H3976 B-NMD together H3162 ADV !
3 For H3588 CONJ now H6258 ADV it would be heavier H3513 VQY3MS than the sand H2344 M-CMS of the sea H3220 NMP : therefore H3651 ADV my words H1697 CMP-1MS are swallowed up H3886 VQQ3MP .
4 For H3588 CONJ the arrows H2671 CMP of the Almighty H7706 NAME-4MS are within H5978 PREP-1MS me , the poison H2534 CMS-3MP whereof H834 RPRO drinketh up H8354 VQQ3FS my spirit H7307 GFS-1MS : the terrors H1161 CMP of God H433 NAME-4MS do set themselves in array against H6186 VQQ3MP-1MS me .
5 Doth the wild ass H6501 NMS bray H5101 I-VQY2MS when he hath grass H1877 NMS ? or H518 PART loweth H1600 VQY3MS the ox H7794 NMS over H5921 PREP his fodder H1098 CMS-3MS ?
6 Can that which is unsavory H8602 AMS be eaten H398 VNY3MS without H1097 M-NPAR salt H4417 NMS ? or H518 PART is there H3426 ADV any taste H2940 NMS in the white H7388 B-CMS of an egg H2495 NFS ?
7 The things H1992 PPRO-3MP that my soul H5315 CFS-1MS refused H3985 VPQ3FS to touch H5060 L-VQFC are as my sorrowful H1741 K-CMP meat H3899 CMS-1MS .
8 Oh that H4310 IPRO I might H5414 VHFA have H935 VQY2MS my request H7596 CFS-1MS ; and that God H433 NMS would grant H5414 VHFA me the thing that I long for H8615 W-CFS-1MS !
9 Even that it would please H2974 W-VHI3MS God H433 NAME-4MS to destroy H1792 W-VPY3MS-1MS me ; that he would let loose H5425 VHI3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS , and cut me off H1214 W-VPY3MS-1MS !
10 Then should I yet H5750 ADV have H1961 W-VQI3FS comfort H5165 CFS-1MS ; yea , I would harden H5539 W-VPI1FS myself in sorrow H2427 B-NFS : let him not H3808 NADV spare H2550 VQY3MS ; for H3588 CONJ I have not H3808 NADV concealed H3582 VPQ1MS the words H561 CMP of the Holy One H6918 AMS .
11 What H4100 IPRO is my strength H3581 CMS-1MS , that H3588 CONJ I should hope H3176 VPY1MS ? and what H4100 IPRO is mine end H7093 CMS-1MS , that H3588 CONJ I should prolong H748 VHY1MS my life H5315 CFS-1MS ?
12 Is my strength H3581 CMS the strength H3581 CMS-1MS of stones H68 NFP ? or is my flesh H1320 CMS-1MS of brass H5153 AMS ?
13 Is not H369 NPAR my help H5833 CFS-1MS in me ? and is wisdom H8454 W-NFS driven H5080 VNQ3FS quite from H4480 PREP-1MS me ?
14 To him that is afflicted H4523 LD-AMS pity H2617 NMS should be showed from his friend H7453 CMS-3MS ; but he forsaketh H5800 VQY3MS the fear H3374 W-CFS of the Almighty H7706 EDS .
15 My brethren H251 NMP-1MS have dealt deceitfully H898 VQQ3MP as H3644 PREP a brook H5158 AMP , and as the stream H650 K-NMS of brooks H5158 AMP they pass away H5674 VQQ3MP ;
16 Which are blackish H6937 D-VQPMP by reason of H4480 PREP-1MS the ice H7140 NMS , and wherein H5921 PMP-3MS the snow H7950 NMS is hid H5956 VTY3MS :
17 What time H6256 B-CFS they wax warm H2215 VUY3MP , they vanish H6789 VNQ3MP : when it is hot H2522 , they are consumed H1846 VNQ3MP out of their place H4725 M-VQFA-3MP .
18 The paths H734 CFP of their way H1870 NMS-3MP are turned aside H3943 VNY3MP ; they go H5927 VQY3MP to nothing H8414 B-AMS , and perish H6 W-VQY3MP .
19 The troops H734 CFP of Tema H8485 TRIB looked H5027 VHQ3MP , the companies H1979 CFS of Sheba H7614 TRIB waited H6960 VPQ3MP for H3926 them .
20 They were confounded H954 VQQ3MP because H3588 CONJ they had hoped H982 ADV ; they came H935 VQQ3MP thither H5704 PREP-3FS , and were ashamed H2659 W-VQY3MP .
21 For H3588 CONJ now H6258 ADV ye are H1961 VQQ2MP nothing H3808 NPAR ; ye see H7200 VQY2MP my casting down H2866 NMS , and are afraid H3372 W-VQY2MP .
22 Did H3588 CONJ I say H559 VQQ1MS , Bring H3051 VQI2MP unto me ? or , Give a reward H7809 VQI2MP for H1157 PREP-1MS me of your substance H3581 WM-CMS-2MP ?
23 Or , Deliver H4422 W-VPI2MS-1MS me from the enemy\'s hand H3027 M-GFS ? or , Redeem H6299 VQY2MP-1MS me from the hand H3027 WM-GFS of the mighty H6184 AMP ?
24 Teach H3384 VHI2MS-1MS me , and I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will hold my tongue H2790 VHY1MS : and cause me to understand H995 VHI2MP wherein H4100 W-IPRO I have erred H7686 VQQ1MS .
25 How H4100 IPRO forcible H4834 VNQ3MP are right H3476 NMS words H561 CMP ! but what H4100 IPRO doth your arguing H3198 VHY3MS reprove H3198 VHFA ?
26 Do ye imagine H2803 VQY2MP to reprove H3198 IL-VHFC words H4405 NFP , and the speeches H561 CMP of one that is desperate H2976 VNPMS , which are as wind H7307 WL-NMS ?
27 Yea H637 CONJ , ye overwhelm H5307 VHY2MP the fatherless H3490 NMS , and ye dig H3738 W-VQY2MP a pit for H5921 PREP your friend H7453 CMS-2MP .
28 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore be content H2974 VHI2MP , look H6437 VQI2MP upon me ; for it is evident unto H5921 W-PREP you if H518 PART I lie H3576 VPY1MS .
29 Return H7725 VQI2MP , I pray you H4994 IJEC , let it not H408 NPAR be H1961 VQI3FS iniquity H5766 NFS ; yea , return H7725 W-VQI2FP again H5750 ADV , my righteousness H6664 CMS-1MS is in it .
30 Is there H3426 I-ADV iniquity H5766 NFS in my tongue H3956 B-CMS-1MS ? cannot H3808 NADV my taste H2441 CMS-1MS discern H995 VQY3MS perverse things H1942 NFP ?
