Then Job
answered,
2
"Oh
that my grief
were actually
weighed
And laid
in the balances
together
with my calamity!
3
"For then
it would be heavier
than
the sand
of the seas;
Therefore
my words
have been rash.
4
"For the arrows
of the Almighty
are within
me, Their poison
my spirit
drinks;
The terrors
of God
are arrayed
against me.
5
"Does the wild donkey
bray
over
his grass,
Or
does the ox
low
over
his fodder?
6
"Can something
taste
less
be eaten
without
salt,
Or
is there any
taste
in the white of an egg?
7
"My soul
refuses
to touch
them; They are like loathsome
food
to me.
8
"Oh
that my request
might come to pass,
And that God
would grant
my longing!
9
"Would that God
were willing
to crush
me, That He would loose
His hand
and cut me off!
10
"But it is still
my consolation,
And I rejoice
in unsparing
pain,
That I have not denied
the words
of the Holy One.
11
"What
is my strength,
that I should wait?
And what
is my end,
that I should endure?
12
"Is my strength
the strength
of stones,
Or
is my flesh
bronze?
13
"Is it that my help
is not within me, And that deliverance
is driven
from me?
14
"For the despairing man
there should be kindness
from his friend;
So that he does not forsake
the fear
of the Almighty.
15
"My brothers
have acted deceitfully
like
a wadi,
Like the torrents
of wadis
which vanish,
16
Which are turbid
because
of ice
And into which the snow
melts.
17
"When
they become waterless,
they are silent,
When it is hot,
they vanish
from their place.
18
"The paths
of their course
wind along,
They go
up into nothing
and perish.
19
"The caravans
of Tema
looked,
The travelers
of Sheba
hoped
for them.
20
"They were disappointed
for they had trusted,
They came
there
and were confounded.
21
"Indeed,
you have now
become
such,
You see
a terror
and are afraid.
22
"Have I said,
'Give
me something,' Or, 'Offer a bribe
for me from your wealth,'
23
Or, 'Deliver
me from the hand
of the adversary,'
Or, 'Redeem
me from the hand
of the tyrants '?
24
"Teach
me, and I will be silent;
And show
me how
I have erred.
25
"How
painful
are honest
words!
But what
does your argument
prove?
26
"Do you intend
to reprove
my words, When the words
of one in despair
belong to the wind?
27
"You would even
cast
lots for the orphans
And barter
over
your friend.
28
"Now
please
look
at me, And see if
I lie
to your face.
29
"Desist
now,
let there be no
injustice;
Even desist,
my righteousness
is yet
in it.
30
"Is there
injustice
on my tongue?
Cannot
my palate
discern
calamities?
