Job 6

The Message Bible MSG

1 Job answered:

2 "If my misery could be weighed, if you could pile the whole bitter load on the scales,

3 It would be heavier than all the sand of the sea! Is it any wonder that I'm screaming like a caged cat?

4 The arrows of God Almighty are in me, poison arrows - and I'm poisoned all through! God has dumped the whole works on me.

5 Donkeys bray and cows moo when they run out of pasture - so don't expect me to keep quiet in this.

6 Do you see what God has dished out for me? It's enough to turn anyone's stomach!

7 Everything in me is repulsed by it - it makes me sick. Pressed Past the Limits

8 "All I want is an answer to one prayer, a last request to be honored:

9 Let God step on me - squash me like a bug, and be done with me for good.

10 I'd at least have the satisfaction of not having blasphemed the Holy God, before being pressed past the limits.

11 Where's the strength to keep my hopes up? What future do I have to keep me going?

12 Do you think I have nerves of steel? Do you think I'm made of iron?

13 Do you think I can pull myself up by my bootstraps? Why, I don't even have any boots! My So-Called Friends

14 "When desperate people give up on God Almighty, their friends, at least, should stick with them.

15 But my brothers are fickle as a gulch in the desert - one day they're gushing with water

16 From melting ice and snow cascading out of the mountains,

17 But by midsummer they're dry, gullies baked dry in the sun.

18 Travelers who spot them and go out of their way for a drink, end up in a waterless gulch and die of thirst.

19 Merchant caravans from Tema see them and expect water, tourists from Sheba hope for a cool drink.

20 They arrive so confident - but what a disappointment! They get there, and their faces fall!

21 And you, my so-called friends, are no better - there's nothing to you! One look at a hard scene and you shrink in fear.

22 It's not as though I asked you for anything - I didn't ask you for one red cent -

23 Nor did I beg you to go out on a limb for me. So why all this dodging and shuffling?

24 "Confront me with the truth and I'll shut up, show me where I've gone off the track.

25 Honest words never hurt anyone, but what's the point of all this pious bluster?

26 You pretend to tell me what's wrong with my life, but treat my words of anguish as so much hot air.

27 Are people mere things to you? Are friends just items of profit and loss?

28 "Look me in the eyes! Do you think I'd lie to your face?

29 Think it over - no double-talk! Think carefully - my integrity is on the line!

30 Can you detect anything false in what I say? Don't you trust me to discern good from evil?

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Iob dixit

2 utinam adpenderentur peccata mea quibus iram merui et calamitas quam patior in statera

3 quasi harena maris haec gravior appareret unde et verba mea dolore sunt plena

4 quia sagittae Domini in me sunt quarum indignatio ebibit spiritum meum et terrores Domini militant contra me

5 numquid rugiet onager cum habuerit herbam aut mugiet bos cum ante praesepe plenum steterit

6 aut poterit comedi insulsum quod non est sale conditum aut potest aliquis gustare quod gustatum adfert mortem

7 quae prius tangere nolebat anima mea nunc prae angustia cibi mei sunt

8 quis det ut veniat petitio mea et quod expecto tribuat mihi Deus

9 et qui coepit ipse me conterat solvat manum suam et succidat me

10 et haec mihi sit consolatio ut adfligens me dolore non parcat nec contradicam sermonibus Sancti

11 quae est enim fortitudo mea ut sustineam aut quis finis meus ut patienter agam

12 nec fortitudo lapidum fortitudo mea nec caro mea aerea est

13 ecce non est auxilium mihi in me et necessarii quoque mei recesserunt a me

14 qui tollit ab amico suo misericordiam timorem Domini derelinquit

15 fratres mei praeterierunt me sicut torrens qui raptim transit in convallibus

16 qui timent pruinam inruet super eos nix

17 tempore quo fuerint dissipati peribunt et ut incaluerit solventur de loco suo

18 involutae sunt semitae gressuum eorum ambulabunt in vacuum et peribunt

19 considerate semitas Theman itinera Saba et expectate paulisper

20 confusi sunt quia speravi venerunt quoque usque ad me et pudore cooperti sunt

21 nunc venistis et modo videntes plagam meam timetis

22 numquid dixi adferte mihi et de substantia vestra donate mihi

23 vel liberate me de manu hostis et de manu robustorum eruite me

24 docete me et ego tacebo et si quid forte ignoravi instruite me

25 quare detraxistis sermonibus veritatis cum e vobis nullus sit qui possit arguere

26 ad increpandum tantum eloquia concinnatis et in ventum verba profertis

27 super pupillum inruitis et subvertere nitimini amicum vestrum

28 verumtamen quod coepistis explete praebete aurem et videte an mentiar

29 respondete obsecro absque contentione et loquentes id quod iustum est iudicate

30 et non invenietis in lingua mea iniquitatem nec in faucibus meis stultitia personabit
