[1] Then Job answered,
[2] “Oh that my anguish were weighed,
and all my calamity laid in the balances!
[3] For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas,
therefore my words have been rash.
[4] For the arrows of the Almighty are within me.
My spirit drinks up their poison.
The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
[5] Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass?
Or does the ox low over his fodder?
[6] Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt?
Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
[7] My soul refuses to touch them.
They are as loathsome food to me. [8] “Oh that I might have my request,
that God would grant the thing that I long for,
[9] even that it would please God to crush me;
that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
[10] Let it still be my consolation,
yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare,
that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
[11] What is my strength, that I should wait?
What is my end, that I should be patient?
[12] Is my strength the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh of bronze?
[13] Isn’t it that I have no help in me,
that wisdom is driven away from me? [14] “To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend;
even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
[15] My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook,
as the channel of brooks that pass away;
[16] which are black by reason of the ice,
in which the snow hides itself.
[17] In the dry season, they vanish.
When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
[18] The caravans that travel beside them turn away.
They go up into the waste, and perish.
[19] The caravans of Tema looked.
The companies of Sheba waited for them.
[20] They were distressed because they were confident.
They came there, and were confounded.
[21] For now you are nothing.
You see a terror, and are afraid.
[22] Did I ever say, ‘Give to me’?
or, ‘Offer a present for me from your substance’?
[23] or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand’?
or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors’? [24] “Teach me, and I will hold my peace.
Cause me to understand my error.
[25] How forcible are words of uprightness!
But your reproof, what does it reprove?
[26] Do you intend to reprove words,
since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
[27] Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless,
and make merchandise of your friend.
[28] Now therefore be pleased to look at me,
for surely I will not lie to your face.
[29] Please return.
Let there be no injustice.
Yes, return again.
My cause is righteous.
[30] Is there injustice on my tongue?
Can’t my taste discern mischievous things?

King James Version
[1] But JobH347 answeredH6030(QalImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] Oh thatH3863 my griefH3708 were throughlyH8254(QalInf) weighed,H8254(NiphImpf) and my calamityH1942(Qere) laidH5375(QalImpf) in the balancesH3976 together!H3162 [3] For now it would be heavierH3513(QalImpf) than the sandH2344 of the sea:H3220 therefore my wordsH1697 are swallowed up.H3886(QalPerf) [4] For the arrowsH2671 of the AlmightyH7706 [are] withinH5978 me, the poisonH2534 whereof drinketh upH8354(QalActPtc) my spirit:H7307 the terrorsH1161 of GodH433 do set themselves in arrayH6186(QalImpf) against me. [5] Doth the wild assH6501 brayH5101(QalImpf) when he hath grass?H1877 or lowethH1600(QalImpf) the oxH7794 over his fodder?H1098 [6] Can that which is unsavouryH8602 be eatenH398(NiphImpf) without salt?H4417 or is thereH3426 [any] tasteH2940 in the whiteH7388 of an egg?H2495 [7] The things [that] my soulH5315 refusedH3985(PielPerf) to touchH5060(QalInf) [are] as my sorrowfulH1741 meat.H3899 [8] Oh that I might haveH935(QalImpf) my request;H7596 and that GodH433 would grantH5414(QalImpf) [me] the thing that I long for!H8615 [9] Even that it would pleaseH2974(HiphImpf) GodH433 to destroyH1792(PielImpf) me; that he would let looseH5425(HiphImpf) his hand,H3027 and cut me off!H1214(PielImpf) [10] Then should I yet have comfort;H5165 yea, I would hardenH5539(PielImpf) myself in sorrow:H2427 let him not spare;H2550(QalImpf) for I have not concealedH3582(PielPerf) the wordsH561 of the Holy One.H6918 [11] What [is] my strength,H3581 that I should hope?H3176(PielImpf) and what [is] mine end,H7093 that I should prolongH748(HiphImpf) my life?H5315 [12] [Is] my strengthH3581 the strengthH3581 of stones?H68 or [is] my fleshH1320 of brass?H5153 [13] [Is] not my helpH5833 in me? and is wisdomH8454 driven quiteH5080(NiphPerf) from me? [14] To him that is afflictedH4523 pityH2617 [should be shewed] from his friend;H7453 but he forsakethH5800(QalImpf) the fearH3374 of the Almighty.H7706 [15] My brethrenH251 have dealt deceitfullyH898(QalPerf) as a brook,H5158 [and] as the streamH650 of brooksH5158 they pass away;H5674(QalImpf) [16] Which are blackishH6937(QalActPtc) by reason of the ice,H7140 [and] wherein the snowH7950 is hid:H5956(HithImpf) [17] What timeH6256 they wax warm,H2215(PualImpf) they vanish:H6789(NiphPerf) when it is hot,H2527 they are consumed outH1846(NiphPerf) of their place.H4725 [18] The pathsH734 of their wayH1870 are turned aside;H3943(NiphImpf) they goH5927(QalImpf) to nothing,H8414 and perish.H6(QalImpf) [19] The troopsH734 of TemaH8485 looked,H5027(HiphPerf) the companiesH1979 of ShebaH7614 waitedH6960(PielPerf) for them. [20] They were confoundedH954(QalPerf) because they had hoped;H982(QalPerf) they cameH935(QalPerf) thither, and were ashamed.H2659(QalImpf) [21] For now ye are nothing; ye seeH7200(QalImpf) [my] casting down,H2866 and are afraid.H3372(QalImpf) [22] Did I say,H559(QalPerf) BringH3051(QalImpv) unto me? or, Give a rewardH7809(QalImpv) for me of your substance?H3581 [23] Or, DeliverH4422(PielImpv) me from the enemy’sH6862 hand?H3027 or, RedeemH6299(QalImpf) me from the handH3027 of the mighty?H6184 [24] TeachH3384(HiphImpv) me, and I will hold my tongue:H2790(HiphImpf) and cause me to understandH995(HiphImpv) wherein I have erred.H7686(QalPerf) [25] How forcibleH4834(NiphPerf) are rightH3476 words!H561 but what doth your arguingH3198(HiphInf) reprove?H3198(HiphImpf) [26] Do ye imagineH2803(QalImpf) to reproveH3198(HiphInf) words,H4405 and the speechesH561 of one that is desperate,H2976(NiphPtc) [which are] as wind?H7307 [27] Yea, ye overwhelmH5307(HiphImpf) the fatherless,H3490 and ye digH3738(QalImpf) [a pit] for your friend.H7453 [28] Now therefore be content,H2974(HiphImpv) lookH6437(QalImpv) upon me; for [it is] evidentH6440 unto you if I lie.H3576(PielImpf) [29] Return,H7725(QalImpv) I pray you, let it not be iniquity;H5766 yea, return again,H7725(QalImpv) my righteousnessH6664 [is] in it. [30] Is thereH3426 iniquityH5766 in my tongue?H3956 cannot my tasteH2441 discernH995(QalImpf) perverse things?H1942
