Job
1
Then Job replied:
2
“If only my anguish could be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales!
3
It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas— no wonder my words have been impetuous.
4
The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God’s terrors are marshaled against me.
5
Does a wild donkey bray when it has grass, or an ox bellow when it has fodder?
6
Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow
[a]
?
7
I refuse to touch it; such food makes me ill.
8
“Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for,
9
that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut off my life!
