Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

6:1	Then Job answered:
6:2	'O that my vexation were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
6:3	For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea;therefore my words have been rash.
6:4	For the arrows of the Almighty are in me;my spirit drinks their poison;the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
6:5	Does the wild ass bray when he has grass, or the ox low over his fodder?
6:6	Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there any taste in the slime of the purslane?
6:7	My appetite refuses to touch them;they are as food that is loathsome to me.
6:8	'O that I might have my request, and that God would grant my desire;
6:9	that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
6:10	This would be my consolation;I would even exult in pain unsparing;for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
6:11	What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?
6:12	Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
6:13	In truth I have no help in me, and any resource is driven from me.
6:14	'He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
6:15	My brethren are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as freshets that pass away,
6:16	which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.
6:17	In time of heat they disappear;when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
6:18	The caravans turn aside from their course;they go up into the waste, and perish.
6:19	The caravans of Tema look, the travelers of Sheba hope.
6:20	They are disappointed because they were confident;they come thither and are confounded.
6:21	Such you have now become to me;you see my calamity, and are afraid.
6:22	Have I said, Make me a gift'? Or, From your wealth offer a bribe for me'?
6:23	Or, Deliver me from the adversary's hand'? Or, Ransom me from the hand of oppressors'?
6:24	'Teach me, and I will be silent;make me understand how I have erred.
6:25	How forceful are honest words! But what does reproof from you reprove?
6:26	Do you think that you can reprove words, when the speech of a despairing man is wind?
6:27	You would even cast lots over the fatherless, and bargain over your friend.
6:28	'But now, be pleased to look at me;for I will not lie to your face.
6:29	Turn, I pray, let no wrong be done. Turn now, my vindication is at stake.
6:30	Is there any wrong on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern calamity?
