(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Job Replies to Eliphaz
[[#Verse 01.]]Â Then Job responded:
[[#Verse 02.]] âOh, if only my grief could be weighed,
and my misfortune laid on the scales too!
[[#Verse 03.]] But because it is heavier than the sand of the sea,
that is why my words have been wild.
[[#Verse 04.]] For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; my spirit drinks their poison; Godâs sudden terrors are arrayed against me.
### Complaints Reflect Suffering
[[#Verse 05.]] âDoes the wild donkey bray when it is near grass?
Or does the ox bellow over its fodder?
[[#Verse 06.]] Can food that is tasteless be eaten without salt?
Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
[[#Verse 07.]] I have refused to touch such things;
they are like loathsome food to me.
### A Cry for Death
[[#Verse 08.]] âOh that my request would be realized,
and that God would grant me what I long for!
[[#Verse 09.]] And that God would be willing to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and kill me.
[[#Verse 10.]] Then I would yet have my comfort, then I would rejoice, in spite of pitiless pain, for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
[[#Verse 11.]]Â What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
[[#Verse 12.]]Â Is my strength like that of stones? Or is my flesh made of bronze?
[[#Verse 13.]] Is not my power to help myself nothing, and has not every resource been driven from me?
### Disappointing Friends
[[#Verse 14.]] âTo the one in despair, kindness should come from his friend
even if he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
[[#Verse 15.]] My brothers have been as treacherous as a seasonal stream, and as the riverbeds of the intermittent streams that flow away.
[[#Verse 16.]] They are dark because of ice; snow is piled up over them.
[[#Verse 17.]] When they are scorched, they dry up, when it is hot, they vanish from their place.
[[#Verse 18.]] Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go into the wasteland and perish.
[[#Verse 19.]] The caravans of Tema looked intently for these streams; the traveling merchants of Sheba hoped for them.
[[#Verse 20.]] They were distressed, because each one had been so confident; they arrived there, but were disappointed.
[[#Verse 21.]] For now you have become like these streams that are no help;
you see a terror, and are afraid.
### Friendsâ Fears
[[#Verse 22.]] âHave I ever said, âGive me something,
and from your fortune make gifts in my favorâ?
[[#Verse 23.]] Or, âDeliver me from the enemyâs power,
and from the hand of tyrants ransom meâ?
### No Sin Discovered
[[#Verse 24.]] âTeach me and I, for my part, will be silent;
explain to me how I have been mistaken.
[[#Verse 25.]] How painful are honest words!
But what does your reproof prove?
[[#Verse 26.]]Â Do you intend to criticize mere words,
and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?
[[#Verse 27.]] Yes, you would gamble for the fatherless,
and auction off your friend.
### Other Explanation
[[#Verse 28.]] âNow then, be good enough to look at me;
and I will not lie to your face!
[[#Verse 29.]] Relent, let there be no falsehood;
reconsider, for my righteousness is intact!
[[#Verse 30.]] Is there any falsehood on my lips?
Can my mouth not discern evil things?
