New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 5
26 You will go to the grave at a ripe old age, like a sheaf of grain harvested at the proper time!
27 “We have studied life and found all this to be true. Listen to my counsel, and apply it to yourself.”
Job 6
1 Then Job spoke again:
2 “If my misery could be weighed and my troubles be put on the scales,
3 they would outweigh all the sands of the sea. That is why I spoke impulsively.
4 For the Almighty has struck me down with his arrows. Their poison infects my spirit. God’s terrors are lined up against me.
5 Don’t I have a right to complain? Don’t wild donkeys bray when they find no grass, and oxen bellow when they have no food?
6 Don’t people complain about unsalted food? Does anyone want the tasteless white of an egg?
7 My appetite disappears when I look at it; I gag at the thought of eating it!
8 “Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant my desire.
9 I wish he would crush me. I wish he would reach out his hand and kill me.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
