The terrors of God set themselves in array against me. 6:5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder? 6:6 Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg? 6:7 My soul refuses to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me. 6:8 "Oh that I might have my request; That God would grant the thing that I long for! 6:9 Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off! 6:10 Be it still my consolation, Yes, let me exult in pain that doesn`t spare, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One. 6:11 What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient? 6:12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass? 6:13 Isn`t it that I have no help in me, That wisdom is driven quite from me? 6:14 "To him who is ready to faint, kindness should be shown from his friend; Even to him who forsakes the fear of the Almighty. 6:15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away; 6:16 Which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself: 6:17 In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. 6:18 The caravans that travel beside them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish. 6:19 The caravans of Tema looked, The companies of Sheba waited for them. 6:20 They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came there, and were confounded. 6:21 For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid. 6:22 Did I say, `Give to me?` Or, `Offer a present for me from your substance?` 6:23 Or, `Deliver me from the adversary`s hand?` Or, `Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?` 6:24 "Teach me, and I will hold my peace; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred. 6:25 How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove? 6:26 Do you intend to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind? 6:27 Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend. 6:28 Now therefore be pleased to look at me, For surely I shall not lie to your face. 6:29 Please return. Let there be no injustice; Yes, return again, my cause is righteous. 6:30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Can`t my taste discern mischievous things?
