1 And Job answered and said,

2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!

3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words are vehement.

4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, their poison drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of +God are arrayed against me.

5 Doth the wild ass bray by the grass? loweth an ox over his fodder?

6 Shall that which is insipid be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg?

7 What my soul refuseth to touch, that is as my loathsome food.

8 Oh that I might have my request, and that +God would grant my desire!

9 And that it would please +God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
