New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 6
7 "My soul refuses to touch them; They are like loathsome food to me.
8 "Oh that my request might come to pass, And that God would grant my longing!
9 "Would that God were willing to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!
10 "But it is still my consolation, And I rejoice in unsparing pain, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11 "What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should endure?
12 "Is my strength the strength of stones, Or is my flesh bronze?
13 "Is it that my help is not within me, And that deliverance is driven from me?
14 "For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend; So that he does not forsake the fear of the Almighty.
15 "My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi, Like the torrents of wadis which vanish,
16 Which are turbid because of ice And into which the snow melts.
17 "When they become waterless, they are silent, When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
