BUT Job answered and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013441">2</a>. Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013442">3</a>. For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013443">4</a>. For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013444">5</a>. Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass?  or loweth the ox over his fodder?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013445">6</a>. Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt?  or is there any taste in the white of an egg?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013446">7</a>. The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013447">8</a>. Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013448">9</a>. Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013449">10</a>. Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013450">11</a>. What is my strength, that I should hope?  and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013451">12</a>. Is my strength the strength of stones?  or is my flesh of brass?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013452">13</a>. Is not my help in me?  and is wisdom driven quite from me?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013453">14</a>. To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013454">15</a>. My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013455">16</a>. Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013456">17</a>. What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013457">18</a>. The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013458">19</a>. The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013459">20</a>. They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013460">21</a>. For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013461">22</a>. Did I say, Bring unto me?  or, Give a reward for me of your substance?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013462">23</a>. Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand?  or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013463">24</a>. Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013464">25</a>. How forcible are right words!  but what doth your arguing reprove?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013465">26</a>. Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013466">27</a>. Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013467">28</a>. Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013468">29</a>. Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013469">30</a>. Is there iniquity in my tongue?  cannot my taste discern perverse things?</li>
