 1 But Job answered and said,

 2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!*

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

 4 For the arrows of the Almighty *are* within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: 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 is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there *any* taste in the white of an egg?

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

 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 destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

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

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

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

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

 14 To him that is afflicted pity *should be shewed* from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.*

 15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, *and* as the stream of brooks they pass away;

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

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

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

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

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

 21 For now ye are nothing; ye see *my* casting down, and are afraid.**

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

 23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

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

 25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

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

 27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig *a pit* for your friend.*

 28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for *it is* evident unto you if I lie.*

 29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness *is* in it.*

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