Job 6:10-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 6
10But it is still my comfort, And I rejoice in unsparing pain, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One. 11What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should endure? 12Is my strength the strength of stones, Or is my flesh bronze? 13Is 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. 15My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi, Like the torrents of wadis which drain away, 16Which are darkened because of ice, And into which the snow melts.King James Version
Chapter 6
10Then 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. 11What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life? 12Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass? 13Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 6
10It 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. 11What strength do I have, that I should continue to hope? What is my future, that I should be patient? 12Is my strength that of stone, or my flesh made of bronze?
13Since I cannot help myself, the hope for success has been banished from me.
14A despairing man should receive loyalty from his friends, even if he abandons the fear of the Almighty.
15My brothers are as treacherous as a wadi, as seasonal streams that overflow
16and become darkened because of ice, and the snow melts into them.
New Living Translation
Chapter 6
10At least I can take comfort in this: Despite the pain, I have not denied the words of the Holy One. 11But I don’t have the strength to endure. I have nothing to live for. 12Do I have the strength of a stone? Is my body made of bronze? 13No, I am utterly helpless, without any chance of success.English Standard Version
Chapter 6
10This would be my comfort; I would even exult in pain unsparing, for I have not denied the words of the Holy One. 11What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient? 12Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze? 13Have 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. 15My brothers are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as torrential streams that pass away, 16which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.New International Version
Chapter 6
10Then I would still have this consolation-- my joy in unrelenting pain-- that I had not denied the words of the Holy One. 11What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should be patient? 12Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze?
13Do I have any power to help myself, now that success has been driven from me?
14Anyone who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as the streams that overflow
16when darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow,
New King James Version
