1
Then Job answered and said:
2
Ah, could my anguish but be measured and my calamity laid with it in the scales,
3
They would now outweigh the sands of the sea! Because of this I speak without restraint.
4
For the arrows of the Almighty pierce me, and my spirit drinks in their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5
Does the wild ass bray when he has grass? Does the ox low over his fodder?
6
Can a thing insipid be eaten without salt? Is there flavor in the white of an egg?
7
I refuse to touch them; they are loathsome food to me.
8
Oh, that I might have my request, and that God would grant what I long for:
9
Even that God would decide to crush me, that he would put forth his hand and cut me off!
10
Then I should still have consolation and could exult through unremitting pain, because I have not transgressed the commands of the Holy One.
11
What strength have I that I should endure, and what is my limit that I should be patient?
12
Have I the strength of stones, or is my flesh of bronze?
13
Have I no helper, and has advice deserted me?
14
A friend owes kindness to one in despair, though he have forsaken the fear of the Almighty.
15
My brethren are undependable as a brook, as watercourses that run dry in the wadies;
16
Though they may be black with ice, and with snow heaped upon them,
17
Yet once they flow, they cease to be; in the heat, they disappear from their place.
18
Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the desert and perish.
19
The caravans of Tema search, the companies of Sheba have hopes;
20
They are disappointed, though they were confident; they come there and are frustrated.
21
It is thus that you have now become for me; you see a terrifying thing and are afraid.
22
Have I asked you to give me anything, to offer a gift for me from your possessions,
23
Or to deliver me from the enemy, or to redeem me from oppressors?
24
Teach me, and I will be silent; prove to me wherein I have erred.
25
How agreeable are honest words; yet how unconvincing is your argument!
26
Do you consider your words as proof, but the sayings of a desperate man as wind?
27
You would even cast lots for the orphan, and would barter away your friend!
28
Come, now, give me your attention; surely I will not lie to your face.
29
Think it over; let there be no injustice. Think it over; I still am right.
30
Is there insincerity on my tongue, or cannot my taste discern falsehood?
