1. Job answered and said,
2. If only my grief were weighed, and my ruin and disaster borne together in the balances!
3. For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, so my words have been swallowed up.
4. For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, their venom drinks up my spirit, and the terrors of God array against me.
5. Does a wild donkey bray over grass, or does an ox low over its fodder?
6. Can anything insipid be eaten without salt? Or is there flavor in the white of an egg?
7. My soul abhors touching them; they are like nauseating food to me.
8. Who will let my request come, and God grant my hope!
9. that God would be willing to crush me, let loose his hand, and cut me off.
10. It would still be my consolation, and I would harden myself in pain—let him not pity—for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11. What strength is mine that I should hope? What end awaits me that I should lengthen my soul?
12. Is the strength of stones my strength? Is my flesh brass?
13. Is my help not in me? Has success been driven from me?
14. To the afflicted, kindness is due from his friend, yet he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15. My brothers have acted treacherously like a brook, like the channel of brooks that pass away.
16. Blackened by the ice, on which the snow hides itself.
17. When they grow warm, they dry up; in the heat, they die out from their place.
18. The paths of their way diverge, ascend into the void, and perish.
19. The caravans of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
20. They were put to shame because they had trusted; they came to it, and were confounded.
21. For now you are nothing; you see terror and are afraid.
22. Did I say, “Bring to me,” or “Bribe for me from your wealth”?
23. Rescue me from the hand of the foe, or redeem me from the hand of the tyrants.
24. Instruct me, and I will be silent; make me understand wherein I have gone astray.
25. How weighty are upright words! What does your rebuke rebuke?
26. Do you mean to correct words, reckoning the desperate one's speeches as wind?
27. Yes, you cast down the orphan and dig a pit for your friend.
28. Now therefore be pleased to look me in the face; if I lie.
29. Return now; may there be no injustice. Return, return again: my righteousness stands.
30. Is there injustice in my tongue, or does my palate not discern calamities?
