Job 6 — GMV

6 Verse 1 But Job answered and said, ^{Verse 2} Oh that one would indeed weigh the wrath that is upon me, ^{Verse 3} And verily they would be heavier than the sand by the seashore: ^{Verse 4} For the arrows of the Lord are in my body, ^{Verse 5} What then? will the wild ass bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? ^{Verse 6} Shall bread be eaten without salt? ^{Verse 7} For my wrath cannot cease; ^{Verse 8} For oh that he would grant my desire, and my petition might come, ^{Verse 9} Let the Lord begin and wound me, ^{Verse 10} Let the grave be my city, upon the walls of which I have leaped: I will not shrink from it; ^{Verse 11} For what is my strength, that I continue? ^{Verse 12} Is my strength the strength of stones? ^{Verse 13} Or have I not trusted in him? ^{Verse 14} Mercy has rejected me; ^{Verse 15} My nearest relations have not regarded me; ^{Verse 16} They who used to reverence me, now have come against me ^{Verse 17} When it has melted at the approach of heat, it is not known what it was. ^{Verse 18} Thus I also have been deserted of all; ^{Verse 19} Behold the ways of the Temanites, ^{Verse 20} They too that trust in cities and riches ^{Verse 21} But ye also have come to me without pity; ^{Verse 22} What? have I made any demand of you? ^{Verse 23} To deliver me from enemies, ^{Verse 24} Teach ye me, and I will be silent: ^{Verse 25} But as it seems, the words of a true man are vain, ^{Verse 26} Neither will your reproof cause me to cease my words, ^{Verse 27} Even because ye attack the fatherless, ^{Verse 28} But now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie. ^{Verse 29} Sit down now, and let there not be unrighteousness; ^{Verse 30} For there is no injustice in my tongue;
