Job 6

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

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Then Job answered and said:
2 - "Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, And my calamity laid with it on the scales!
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 within me; My spirit drinks in their poison; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5 - Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass, Or does the ox low over its fodder?
6 - Can flavorless food 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 me the thing that I long for!
9 - That it would please God to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!
10 - Then I would still have comfort; Though in anguish I would exult, He will not spare; For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11 - "What strength do I have, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
12 - Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?
13 - Is my help not within me? And is success driven from me?
14 - "To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 - My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,
16 - Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes.
17 - When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 - The paths of their way turn aside, They go nowhere and perish.
19 - The caravans of Tema look, The travelers of Sheba hope for them.
20 - They are disappointed because they were confident; They come there and are confused.
21 - For now you are nothing, You see terror and are afraid.
22 - Did I ever say, "Bring something to me'? Or, "Offer a bribe for me from your wealth'?
23 - Or, "Deliver me from the enemy's hand'? Or, "Redeem me from the hand of oppressors'?
24 - "Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 - How forceful are right words! But what does your arguing prove?
26 - Do you intend to rebuke my words, And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?
27 - Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, And you undermine your friend.
28 - Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; For I would never lie to your face.
29 - Yield now, let there be no injustice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!
30 - Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern the unsavory?
