Job Capítulo 6

6 : 1 But Job answered and said,

6 : 2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!

6 : 3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

6 : 4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinks up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

6 : 5 Does the wild ass bray when he has grass? or lows the ox over his fodder?

6 : 6 Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

6 : 7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.

6 : 8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

6 : 9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

6 : 10 Then should I yet have comfort; yes, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

6 : 11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is my end, that I should prolong my life?

6 : 12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?

6 : 13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?

6 : 14 To him that is afflicted pity should be showed from his friend; but he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

6 : 15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;

6 : 16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:

6 : 17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

6 : 18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.

6 : 19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.

6 : 20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.

6 : 21 For now you are nothing; you see my casting down, and are afraid.

6 : 22 Did I say, Bring to me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?

6 : 23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

6 : 24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

6 : 25 How forcible are right words! but what does your arguing reprove?

6 : 26 Do you imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

6 : 27 Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you dig a pit for your friend.

6 : 28 Now therefore be content, look on me; for it is evident to you if I lie.

6 : 29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yes, return again, my righteousness is in it.

6 : 30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
