1 And Job will answer and say,

2 I would weighing, my anger shall be weighed, and my falls shall be lifted up in the balances together.

3 For now it will be heavy above the sand of the seas: for this my words were rash.

4 For the arrows of the Almighty are with me, which their anger drank up my spirit: the terrors of God will be prepared for me.

5 Shall the wild ass bray at grass? if the ox will low over his provender?

6 Shall that unseasoned be eaten without salt? if there is taste in purslain slime?

7 My soul refused to touch these as the loathsomeness of my bread.

8 Who will give my asking shall come? and will God give my expectation?

9 And God will, and he will crush me; will he let his hand remain, and will he cut me off?
