Job - Chapter: 6


6:1	But Iob answered, and sayd,
6:2	Oh that my griefe were throughly weighed, and my calamitie layd in the balances together.
6:3	For now it would be heauier then the sand of the sea, therefore my words are swallowed vp.
6:4	For the arrowes of the Almightie are within me, the poyson whereof drinketh vp my spirit: the terrors of God doe set themselues in aray against mee.
6:5	Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe ouer his fodder?
6:6	Can that which is vnsauery, bee eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge?
6:7	The things that my soule refused to touch, are as my sorrowfull meat.
6:8	O that I might haue my request! and that God would graunt mee the thing that I long for!
6:9	Euen that it would please God to destroy mee, that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off.
6:10	Then should I yet haue comfort, yea I would harden my selfe in sorrow; let him not spare, for I haue not concealed the words of the holy One.
6:11	What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine ende, that I should prolong my life?
6:12	Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brasse?
6:13	Is not my helpe in me? and is wisedome driuen quite from me?
6:14	To him that is afflicted, pitie should be shewed from his friend; But he forsaketh the feare of the Almighty.
6:15	My brethren haue delt deceitfully as a brooke, & as the streame of brookes they passe away,
6:16	Which are blackish by reason of the yce, and wherein the snow is hid:
6:17	What time they waxe warme, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
6:18	The pathes of their way are turned aside; they goe to nothing, and perish.
6:19	The troupes of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
6:20	They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
6:21	For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting downe, and are afraid.
6:22	Did I say, Bring vnto mee? or giue a reward for me of your substance?
6:23	Or deliuer me from the enemies hand, or redeeme me from the hand of the mighty?
6:24	Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause mee to vnderstand wherein I haue erred.
6:25	How forcible are right wordes? but what doeth your arguing reproue?
6:26	Do ye imagine to reproue words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as winde?
6:27	Yea, ye ouerwhelme the fatherlesse, and you digge a pit for your friend.
6:28	Now therefore be content, looke vpon mee, for it is euident vnto you, if I lie.
6:29	Returne, I pray you, let it not be iniquitie; yea returne againe: my righteousnesse is in it.
6:30	Is there iniquitie in my tongue? cannot my taste discerne peruerse things?


6:1	Bvt Iob answered, and said,
6:2	Oh that my griefe were well weighed, and my miseries were layed together in the balance.
6:3	For it woulde be nowe heauier then the sande of the sea: therefore my wordes are swallowed vp.
6:4	For the arrowes of the Almightie are in me, the venime whereof doeth drinke vp my spirit, and the terrours of God fight against me.
6:5	Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe when he hath fodder?
6:6	That which is vnsauerie, shall it be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge?
6:7	Such things as my soule refused to touch, as were sorowes, are my meate.
6:8	Oh that I might haue my desire, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
6:9	That is, that God would destroy me: that he would let his hand go, and cut me off.
6:10	Then should I yet haue comfort, (though I burne with sorowe, let him not spare) because I haue not denyed the wordes of the Holy one.
6:11	What power haue I that I should endure? or what is mine end, if I should prolong my life?
6:12	Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brasse?
6:13	Is it not so, that there is in me no helpe? and that strength is taken from me?
6:14	He that is in miserie, ought to be comforted of his neighbour: but men haue forsaken the feare of the Almightie.
6:15	My brethre haue deceiued me as a brook, and as the rising of the riuers they passe away.
6:16	Which are blackish with yee, and wherein the snowe is hid.
6:17	But in time they are dryed vp with heate and are consumed: and when it is hote they faile out of their places,
6:18	Or they depart from their way and course, yea, they vanish and perish.
6:19	They that go to Tema, considered them, and they that goe to Sheba, waited for them.
6:20	But they were confounded: when they hoped, they came thither and were ashamed.
6:21	Surely nowe are ye like vnto it: ye haue seene my fearefull plague, and are afraide.
6:22	Was it because I said, Bring vnto me? or giue a rewarde to me of your substance?
6:23	And deliuer me from the enemies hande, or ransome me out of the hand of tyrants?
6:24	Teach me, and I wil hold my tongue: and cause me to vnderstande, wherein I haue erred.
6:25	Howe stedfast are the wordes of righteousnes? and what can any of you iustly reproue?
6:26	Doe ye imagine to reproue wordes, that the talke of the afflicted should be as the winde?
6:27	Ye make your wrath to fall vpon the fatherlesse, and dig a pit for your friende.
6:28	Nowe therefore be content to looke vpon me: for I will not lie before your face.
6:29	Turne, I pray you, let there be none iniquitie: returne, I say, and ye shall see yet my righteousnesse in that behalfe. Is there iniquitie in my tongue? doeth not my mouth feele sorowes?
6:30	n/a


6:1	Iob answered also, & sayde:
6:2	O that the displeasure which I haue were truly weyed, and my punishment layed in the balaunces togeather:
6:3	for now is it heuyer then the sande of the see. And thys is the cause, that my wordes are so sorowfull.
6:4	For the arowes of the almighty are round about me, whose indygnacyon hath droncke vp my sprete, and the terrible feares of God are sett agaynst me.
6:5	Doth the wylde asse roare when he hath grasse? Or cryeth the oxe, when he hath foder ynough?
6:6	That which is vnsauery, shalt it be eaten without salte, or is there any taste in the whyte of an egge?
6:7	The thynges that some tyme I myght not awaye withall, are now my meate for very sorowe.
6:8	O that I myght haue my desyre: and that God wolde graunte me the thynge that I longe for.
6:9	O that God wold begynne and smyte me: that he wolde let hys hande go, and take me cleane awaye.
6:10	Then shulde I haue some comforte: yee, I wolde desyre hym in my payne, that he shulde not spare, for I wyll not be agaynst the wordes of the holy one.
6:11	For what power haue I to endure? And what is myne ende, that my soule myght be pacient?
6:12	Is my strength the strength of stones? Or, is my flesh made of brasse?
6:13	Is it not so that there is in me no helpe: and that my substaunce is taken from me.
6:14	He that is in tribulacyon ought to be comforted of hys neyghbour: but the feare of the Lord is cleane awaye.
6:15	Myne awne brethren passe ouer by me as the water brooke, and as the ryuer of water, do hastely go awaye.
6:16	But they that feare the hore frost, the snowe shall fall vpon them.
6:17	When theyr tyme commeth, they shalbe destroyed and peryshe: when they be sett on fyre, they shalbe remoued out of theyr place,
6:18	for the pathes that they go in, are croked: they haste after vayne thynges, and shall perysh.
6:19	They turne them to the pathes of Theman, and to the wayes of Saba, wherin they haue put their trust.
6:20	Confounded are they that put eny confydence in them. For whan they come to obtayne the thynges that they loke for, they are brought to confusion.
6:21	Euen so are ye also come vnto me: but now that ye se my misery, ye are afrayed.
6:22	Dyd I desyre you, to bryng vnto me, or to geue me eny of youre substaunce?
6:23	To delyuer me from the enemyes hande, or to saue me from the hande of tyrauntes?
6:24	Teache me, and I wyll holde my tonge: and whan I do erre, shewe me wherin.
6:25	How stedfast are the wordes of treuth?
6:26	And which of you can rebuke and reproue them? Do ye take deliberacyon to check mens sayinges, and iudge a pore worde spoken in vayne?
6:27	Ye fall vpon the fatherles and go about to ouerthrowe your awne frende.
6:28	And therfore be content, and loke now vpon me, and I wyll not lye before youre face.
6:29	Turne (I praye you) be indifferent iudges, turne agayne, and ye shall se myne vngyltinesse:
6:30	whether there be eny vnrighteousnesse in my tong, or vayne wordes in my mouth.
