Job 6:6-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
6
Can something tasteless be eaten without salt,
Or is there any taste in the juice of an alkanet
plant?
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 hope!
9
Oh,
that God would decide to crush me,
That He would let loose His hand and cut me off!
10
But it is still my comfort,
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 a good outcome is driven away from me?
14
'For the despairing man
there should be
kindness from his friend;
So that he does not abandon the fear of the Almighty.
King James Version
Chapter 6
6
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
7
The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
8
Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9
Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
10
Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11
What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
12
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
13
Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
14
To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
6
Is bland food eaten without salt?
Is there flavor in an egg white?
7
I refuse to touch them;
they are like contaminated food.
8
If only my request would be granted
and God would provide what I hope for:
9
that he would decide to crush me,
to unleash his power and cut me off!
10
It would still bring me comfort,
and I would leap for joy in unrelenting pain
that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11
What strength do I have, that I should continue to hope?
What is my future, that I should be patient?
12
Is my strength that of stone,
or my flesh made of bronze?
13
Since I cannot help myself,
the hope for success has been banished from me.
14
A despairing man should receive loyalty from his friends,
even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
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.
10
At least I can take comfort in this:
Despite the pain,
I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
11
But I don’t have the strength to endure.
I have nothing to live for.
12
Do I have the strength of a stone?
Is my body made of bronze?
13
No, I am utterly helpless,
without any chance of success.
14
'One should be kind to a fainting friend,
but you accuse me without any fear of the Almighty.
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
6
Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt,
or is there any taste in the juice of the mallow?
7
My appetite refuses to touch them;
they are as food that is loathsome to me.
8
"Oh that I might have my request,
and that God would fulfill my hope,
9
that it would please God to crush me,
that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
10
This would be my comfort;
I would even exult in pain unsparing,
for 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 be patient?
12
Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?
13
Have I any help in me,
when resource is driven from me?
14
"He who withholds kindness from a friend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
New International Version
Chapter 6
6
Is tasteless food eaten without salt,
or is there flavor in the sap of the mallow ?
7
I refuse to touch it;
such food makes me ill.
8
"Oh, that I might have my request,
that God would grant what I hope for,
9
that God would be willing to crush me,
to let loose his hand and cut off my life!
10
Then I would still have this consolation—
my joy in unrelenting pain—
that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.
11
"What strength do I have, that I should still hope?
What prospects, that I should be patient?
12
Do I have the strength of stone?
Is my flesh bronze?
13
Do I have any power to help myself,
now that success has been driven from me?
14
"Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend
forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
New King James Version
Chapter 6
6
Can flavorless food be eaten without salt?
Or is there
any
taste in the white of an egg?
7
My soul refuses to touch them;
They
are
as loathsome food to me.
8
“Oh, that I might have my request,
That God would grant
me
the thing that I long for!
9
That it would please God to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and cut me off!
10
Then I would still have comfort;
Though in anguish I would exult,
He will not spare;
For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
11
“What strength do I have, that I should hope?
And what
is
my end, that I should prolong my life?
12
Is
my strength the strength of stones?
Or is my flesh bronze?
13
Is
my help not within me?
And is success driven from me?
14
“To him who is afflicted, kindness
should be shown
by his friend,
Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
