Job 6

Verses of Job 6 of the ASV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Then Job answered and said,
2 - Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!
3 - For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash.
4 - For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
5 - Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6 - Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 - My soul refuseth to touch `them'; They are as loathsome food to me.
8 - Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant `me' 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 - And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 - What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is mine end, that I should be patient?
12 - Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?
13 - Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?
14 - To him that is ready to faint kindness `should be showed' from his friend; Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15 - My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;
16 - Which are black by reason of the ice, `And' wherein the snow hideth itself:
17 - What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 - The caravans `that travel' by the way of them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.
19 - The caravans of Tema looked, The companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 - They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came thither, and were confounded.
21 - For now ye are nothing; Ye see a terror, and are afraid.
22 - Did I say, Give unto me? Or, Offer a present for me of 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; And cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 - How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what doth it reprove?
26 - Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?
27 - Yea, ye would cast `lots' upon the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend.
28 - Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; For surely I shall not lie to your face.
29 - Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; Yea, return again, my cause is righteous.
30 - Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?
