- 1Then Job answered and said,
- 2Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!
- 3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash.
- 4For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
- 5Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
- 6Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
- 7My soul refuseth to touch [supplied: them]; They are as loathsome food to me.
- 8Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant [supplied: me] the thing that I long for!
- 9Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
- 10And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

- 11What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is mine end, that I should be patient?
- 12Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?
