Job 6

Jb 6 (King James)

1 But Job answered and said,
2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

Jb 6 (Vulgate)

1 Respondens autem Job, dixit :
2 [Utinam appenderentur peccata mea quibus iram merui, et calamitas quam patior, in statera !
3 Quasi arena maris hæc gravior appareret ; unde et verba mea dolore sunt plena :
4 quia sagittæ Domini in me sunt, quarum indignatio ebibit spiritum meum ; et terrores Domini militant contra me.
5 Numquid rugiet onager cum habuerit herbam ? aut mugiet bos cum ante præsepe plenum steterit ?
6 aut poterit comedi insulsum, quod non est sale conditum ? aut potest aliquis gustare quod gustatum affert mortem ?
7 Quæ prius nolebat tangere anima mea, nunc, præ angustia, cibi mei sunt.
8 Quis det ut veniat petitio mea, et quod expecto tribuat mihi Deus ?
9 et qui cœpit, ipse me conterat ; solvat manum suam, et succidat me ?
10 Et hæc mihi sit consolatio, ut affligens me dolore, non parcat, nec contradicam sermonibus Sancti.
11 Quæ est enim fortitudo mea, ut sustineam ? aut quis finis meus, ut patienter agam ?
12 Nec fortitudo lapidum fortitudo mea, nec caro mea ænea est.
13 Ecce non est auxilium mihi in me, et necessarii quoque mei recesserunt a me.
14 Qui tollit ab amico suo misericordiam, timorem Domini derelinquit.
15 Fratres mei præterierunt me, sicut torrens qui raptim transit in convallibus.
16 Qui timent pruinam, irruet super eos nix.
17 Tempore quo fuerint dissipati, peribunt ; et ut incaluerit, solventur de loco suo.
18 Involutæ sunt semitæ gressuum eorum ; ambulabunt in vacuum, et peribunt.
19 Considerate semitas Thema, itinera Saba, et expectate paulisper.
20 Confusi sunt, quia speravi : venerunt quoque usque ad me, et pudore cooperti sunt.
21 Nunc venistis ; et modo videntes plagam meam, timetis.
22 Numquid dixi : Afferte mihi, et de substantia vestra donate mihi ?
23 vel : Liberate me de manu hostis, et de manu robustorum eruite me ?
24 Docete me, et ego tacebo : et si quid forte ignoravi, instruite me.
25 Quare detraxistis sermonibus veritatis, cum e vobis nullus sit qui possit arguere me ?
26 Ad increpandum tantum eloquia concinnatis, et in ventum verba profertis.
27 Super pupillum irruitis, et subvertere nitimini amicum vestrum.
28 Verumtamen quod cœpistis explete : præbete aurem, et videte an mentiar.
29 Respondete, obsecro, absque contentione ; et loquentes id quod justum est, judicate.
30 Et non invenietis in lingua mea iniquitatem, nec in faucibus meis stultitia personabit.]
