1 Then Job replied:
2 ‘If only my anguish could be weighedand all my misery be placed on the scales!
3 It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas –no wonder my words have been impetuous.
4 The arrows of the Almighty are in me,my spirit drinks in their poison;God’s terrors are marshalled against me.
5 Does a wild donkey bray when it has grass,or an ox bellow when it has fodder?
