18:005:022 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh:
neither shalt thou
be
afraid of the beasts of the earth.
18:005:023 For thou shalt be in league with the stones
of the field: and
the
beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
18:005:024 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle
shall be in peace; and
thou
shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
18:005:025 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall
be great, and thine
offspring
as the grass of the earth.
18:005:026 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full
age, like as a shock of
corn
cometh in in his season.
18:005:027 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is;
hear it, and know thou
it
for thy good.
18:006:001 But Job answered and said,
18:006:002 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed,
and my calamity laid
in
the balances together!
18:006:003 For now it would be heavier than the sand
of the sea:
therefore
my words are swallowed up.
18:006:004 For the arrows of the Almighty are within
me, the poison
whereof
drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set
themselves
in array against me.
18:006:005 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass?
or loweth the ox
over
his fodder?
18:006:006 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without
salt? or is there
any
taste in the white of an egg?
18:006:007 The things that my soul refused to touch
are as my sorrowful
meat.
18:006:008 Oh that I might have my request; and that
God would grant me
the
thing that I long for!
18:006:009 Even that it would please God to destroy
me; that he would let
loose
his hand, and cut me off!
18:006:010 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.
18:006:011 What is my strength, that I should hope?
and what is mine end,
that
I should prolong my life?
18:006:012 Is my strength the strength of stones?
or is my flesh of
brass?
18:006:013 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
18:006:014 To him that is afflicted pity should be
shewed from his
friend;
but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
18:006:015 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a
brook, and as the
stream
of brooks they pass away;
18:006:016 Which are blackish by reason of the ice,
and wherein the snow
is
hid:
18:006:017 What time they wax warm, they vanish:
when it is hot, they are
consumed
out of their place.
18:006:018 The paths of their way are turned aside;
they go to nothing,
and
perish.
