1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)
Job 6
1 Job sheweth that his complaints are not causeless. 8 He wisheth for death, wherein he is assured of comfort. 14 He reproveth his friends for their unkindness.

6:1 ¶
Then responded Job, and said:

6:2
Oh that, weighed, were my vexation, and, my engulfing ruininto the balances, they would lift up all at once!

6:3
For, now, beyond the sand of the seas, would it be heavy, On this account, my words, have wandered.

6:4
For, the arrows of the Almighty, are in me, The heat whereof, my spirit is drinking up, The, terrors of GOD, array themselves against me.

6:5
Doth the wild ass bray over grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?

6:6
Can that which hath no savour be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

6:7
My soul hath refused to touch, Those things, are like disease in my food.

6:8 ¶
Oh that my request would come! and, my hope, oh that GOD would grant!

6:9
That it would please GOD to crush me, That he would set free his hand, and cut me off!

6:10
So might it still be my comfort, And I might exult in the anguish he would not spare,That I had not concealed the sayings of the Holy One.

6:11
What is my strength, that I should hope? Or what mine end, that I should prolong my desire?

6:12
Is my strength, the strength of stones? Or is, my flesh, of bronze?

6:13
Is there any help at all in me? Is not, abiding success, driven from me?

6:14 ¶
The despairing, from his friend, should have lovingkindness, or, the reverence of the Almighty, he may forsake.

6:15
Mine own brethren, have proved treacherous like a torrent, like a channel of torrents which disappear:

6:16
Which darken by reason of the cold, over them, is a covering made by the snow:

6:17
By the time they begin to thaw, they are dried up, as soon as it is warm, they have vanished out of their place.

6:18
Caravans turn aside by their course, they go up into a waste, and are lost:

6:19
The caravans of Tema looked about, the travelling companies of Sheba, hoped for them:

6:20
They are ashamed that they had trusted, They have come up to one of them, and are confounded.

6:21
For, now, ye have come to him, ye see something fearful, and fear.

6:22 ¶
Is it that I said, Make me a gift, or, out of your abundance, offer a bribe on my behalf;

6:23
And deliver me from the hand of the adversary? And, out of the hand of tyrants, ransom me?

6:24
Show me, and, I, will hold my peace, And, wherein I have erred, cause me to understand.

6:25
How pleasant are the sayings that are right! But what can a decision from you, decide?

6:26
To decide words, do ye intend, When, to the wind, are spoken the sayings of one in despair?

6:27
Surely, the fatherless, ye would assail, and make merchandise of your friend!

6:28
But, now, be pleased to turn to me, that it may be, to your faces, if I speak falsehood,

6:29
Reply, I pray you, let there be no perversity, Yea reply even yet, my vindication is in it!

6:30
Is there, in my tongue, perversity? Or can, my sense, not discern, engulfing ruin?
