For that reason my words have been rash.

That I have not [fn]denied the words of the Holy One.

And what is my end, that I should [fn]endure?

Or is my flesh bronze?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:13 -

“Is it that my help is not within me,

And that a good outcome is driven away from me?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:14 -

“For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend;

So that he does not abandon the [fn]fear of the Almighty.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:15 -

“My brothers have acted deceitfully like a [fn]wadi,

Like the torrents of [fn]wadis which drain away,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:16 -

Which are darkened because of ice,

And into which the snow [fn]melts.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:17 -

“When they dry up, they vanish;

When it is hot, they disappear from their place.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:18 -

“The [fn]paths of their course wind along,

They go up into wasteland and perish.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:19 -

“The caravans of Tema looked,

The travelers of Sheba hoped for them.

You see terrors and are afraid.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:22 -

Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:23 -

Or, ‘Save me from the hand of the enemy,’

Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:24 -

“Teach me, and I will be silent;

And show me how I have done wrong.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:25 -

“How painful are honest words!

But what does your argument prove?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:26 -

“Do you intend to rebuke my words,

When the words of one in despair belong to the wind?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:27 -

“You would even cast lots for the orphans,

And barter over your friend.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:28 -

“Now please look at me,

And see if I am lying to your face.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:29 -

“Please turn away, let there be no injustice;

Turn away, my righteousness is still in it.

Does my palate not discern disasters?
