- 1Then Job answered and said:
- 2Oh that my vexation were but weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances altogether!
- 3For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore are my words broken.
- 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 savour be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the juice of mallows?
- 7My soul refuseth to touch them; they are as the sickness of my flesh.
- 8Oh that I might have my request, and that God would grant 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!
- 10Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would exult in pain, though He spare not; for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
