Job 6:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Then Job replied:

2 “If only my grief could be weighed and placed with my calamity on the scales.

3 For then it would outweigh the sand of the seas— no wonder my words have been rash.

4 For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; my spirit drinks in their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
