1- But Job answered and said,
2- Oh that my grief were thoroughly 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 showed 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?
