< Job 6 >

1 And he answered Job and he said.
Then Job answered and said:
2 Certainly [if] it will be weighed grief my (and destruction my *QK) in [the] balances people will raise together.
Oh that my vexation were but weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances altogether!
3 For now more than [the] sand of [the] seas it will be heavy there-fore words my they have been rash.
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore are my words broken.
4 For [the] arrows of [the] Almighty [are] with me which poison their [is] drinking spirit my [the] terrors of God they are arranged against me.
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 ¿ Does it bray a wild donkey on grass or? does it low an ox on fodder its.
Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6 ¿ Is it eaten tasteless [food] because not salt or? [is] there taste in [the] slime of purslane.
Can that which hath no savour be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the juice of mallows?
7 It refuses to touch [them] self my they [are] like [the] illness of food my.
My soul refuseth to touch them; they are as the sickness of my flesh.
8 Who? will he give it will come petition my and hope my he will give God.
Oh that I might have my request, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 And may he be willing God and may he crush me may he loosen hand his and may he cut off me.
Even that it would please God to crush me; that He would let loose His hand, and cut me off!
10 And may it be still - comfort my and may I jump in anguish [which] not it relents that not I have hidden [the] words of [the] holy [one].
Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would exult in pain, though He spare not; for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 What? [is] strength my that I will wait and what? [is] end my that I will prolong life my.
What is my strength, that I should wait? and what is mine end, that I should be patient?
12 [the] strength of Stones [is] strength my or? [is] flesh my bronze.
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13 ¿ If not [is] help my in myself and sound wisdom it has been banished from me.
Is it that I have no help in me, and that sound wisdom is driven quite from me?
14 [belongs] to Despairing [person] from friend his loyalty and [the] fear of [the] Almighty he will forsake.
To him that is ready to faint kindness is due from his friend, even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15 Brothers my they have acted treacherously like a wadi like a stream-bed of wadis [which] they pass away.
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that overflow,
16 That are dark from ice over them it hides itself snow.
Which are black by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow hideth itself;
17 At [the] time [when] they flow they are silenced in heat its they are dried up from place their.
What time they wax warm, they vanish, when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 They twist [the] paths of way their they go up in the wasteland so they may perish.
The paths of their way do wind, they go up into the waste, and are lost.
19 They look [the] caravans of Tema [the] travelers of Sheba they look eagerly for them.
The caravans of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them —
20 They are disappointed for he had been confident they come to it and they were disappointed.
They were ashamed because they had hoped; they came thither, and were confounded.
21 For now you have become (it *QK) you have seen a terror and you were afraid.
For now ye are become His; ye see a terror, and are afraid.
22 ¿ For have I said give for me and from wealth your give a reward for me.
Did I say: 'Give unto me'? or: 'Offer a present for me of your substance'?
23 And rescue me from [the] hand of an opponent and from [the] hand of ruthless [people] you will ransom me.
or: 'Deliver me from the adversary's hand'? or: 'Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors'?
24 Teach me and I I will keep silent and what? have I erred explain to me.
Teach me, and I will hold my peace; and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 How! they are painful words of uprightness and what? does it prove completely from you.
How forcible are words of uprightness! But what doth your arguing argue?
26 ¿ To reprove words do you plan and to wind [the] words of [one who] despairs.
Do ye hold words to be an argument, but the speeches of one that is desperate to be wind?
27 Even on a fatherless one you will make fall and you may bargain on friend your.
Yea, ye would cast lots upon the fatherless, and dig a pit for your friend.
28 And therefore be willing turn on me and on faces your if I will lie.
Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; for surely I shall not lie to your face.
29 Turn back please may not it be injustice (and turn back *Qk) still righteousness my [is] in it.
Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; yea, return again, my cause is righteous.
30 ¿ [is] there On tongue my injustice or? palate my not does it discern destruction.
Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern crafty devices?
