The Arrows of God - Job 6

Job 6:1 But Job answered and said, 

Job 6:2 O that my grief  were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the  balances together! 

Job 6:3 For now it would be heavier than  the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

Job 6:13 Is not  my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?

Job 6:15  My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the  stream of brooks they pass away;

Job 6:17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is  hot, they are consumed out of their place. 

Job 6:18 The paths  of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.  

Job 6:19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba  waited for them.

Job 6:22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a  reward for me of your substance? 

Job 6:23 Or, Deliver me  from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of  the mighty? 

Job 6:24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue:  and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

Job 6:28 Now therefore be content, look upon  me; for it is evident unto you if I lie. 

Job 6:29 Return, I pray  you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my  righteousness is in it. 

Job 6:30 Is there iniquity in my  tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?  KJV
