< Job 6 >
1 And he answered Job and he said.
But Job answered and said,
2 Certainly [if] it will be weighed grief my (and destruction my *Q(K)*) in [the] balances people will raise together.
Oh that one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, and take up my griefs in a balance together!
3 For now more than [the] sand of [the] seas it will be heavy there-fore words my they have been rash.
And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: but, as it seems, my words are vain.
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 Lord are in my body, whose violence drinks up my blood: whenever I am going to speak, they pierce me.
5 ¿ Does it bray a wild donkey on grass or? does it low an ox on fodder its.
What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has a fodder?
6 ¿ Is it eaten tasteless [food] because not salt or? [is] there taste in [the] slime of purslane.
Shall bread be eaten without salt? or again, is there taste in empty words?
7 It refuses to touch [them] self my they [are] like [the] illness of food my.
For my wrath can’t cease; for I perceive my food as the smell of a lion [to be] loathsome.
8 Who? will he give it will come petition my and hope my he will give God.
For oh that he would grant [my desire], and my petition might come, and the Lord would grant my hope!
9 And may he be willing God and may he crush me may he loosen hand his and may he cut off me.
Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me.
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].
Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not shrink from it; for I have not denied the holy words of my God.
11 What? [is] strength my that I will wait and what? [is] end my that I will prolong life my.
For what is my strength, that I continue? what is my time, that my soul endures?
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.
Or have I not trusted in him? but help is [far] from me.
14 [belongs] to Despairing [person] from friend his loyalty and [the] fear of [the] Almighty he will forsake.
Mercy has rejected me; and the visitation of the Lord has disregarded me.
15 Brothers my they have acted treacherously like a wadi like a stream-bed of wadis [which] they pass away.
My nearest relations have not regarded me; they have passed me by like a failing brook, or like a wave.
16 That are dark from ice over them it hides itself snow.
They who used to reverence me, now have come against me like snow or congealed ice.
17 At [the] time [when] they flow they are silenced in heat its they are dried up from place their.
When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was.
18 They twist [the] paths of way their they go up in the wasteland so they may perish.
Thus I also have been deserted of all; and I am ruined, and become an outcast.
19 They look [the] caravans of Tema [the] travelers of Sheba they look eagerly for them.
Behold the ways of the Thaemanites, you that mark the paths of the Sabaeans.
20 They are disappointed for he had been confident they come to it and they were disappointed.
They too that trust in cities and riches shall come to shame.
21 For now you have become (it *Q(K)*) you have seen a terror and you were afraid.
But you also have come to me without pity; so that beholding my wound you are afraid.
22 ¿ For have I said give for me and from wealth your give a reward for me.
What? have I made any demand of you? or do I ask for strength from you,
23 And rescue me from [the] hand of an opponent and from [the] hand of ruthless [people] you will ransom me.
to deliver me from enemies, or to rescue me from the hand of the mighty ones?
24 Teach me and I I will keep silent and what? have I erred explain to me.
Teach you me, and I will be silent: if in anything I have erred, tell me.
25 How! they are painful words of uprightness and what? does it prove completely from you.
But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, because I do not ask strength of you.
26 ¿ To reprove words do you plan and to wind [the] words of [one who] despairs.
Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, for neither will I endure the sound of your speech.
27 Even on a fatherless one you will make fall and you may bargain on friend your.
Even because you attack the fatherless, and insult your friend.
28 And therefore be willing turn on me and on faces your if I will lie.
But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.
29 Turn back please may not it be injustice (and turn back *Q(K)*) still righteousness my [is] in it.
Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; and unite again with the just.
30 ¿ [is] there On tongue my injustice or? palate my not does it discern destruction.
For there is no injustice in my tongue; and does not my throat meditate understanding?
