Job: Chapter 6 (asv) - Online Bible

Job 6
- 1 Then Job answered and said,
- 2 Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!
- 3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash.
- 4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
- 5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
- 6 Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
- 7 My soul refuseth to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me.
- 8 Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grantmethe thing that I long for!
- 9 Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
- 10 And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
- 11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is mine end, that I should be patient?
- 12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?
- 13 Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?
- 14 To him that is ready to faint kindness should be showed from his friend; Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
- 15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;
- 16 Which are black by reason of the ice, And wherein the snow hideth itself:
- 17 What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
- 18 The caravansthat travelby the way of them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.
- 19 The caravans of Tema looked, The companies of Sheba waited for them.
- 20 They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came thither, and were confounded.
- 21 For now ye are nothing; Ye see a terror, and are afraid.
- 22 Did I say, Give unto me? Or, Offer a present for me of your substance?
- 23 Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?
- 24 Teach me, and I will hold my peace; And cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
- 25 How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what doth it reprove?
- 26 Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?
- 27 Yea, ye would castlotsupon the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend.
- 28 Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; For surely I shall not lie to your face.
- 29 Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; Yea, return again, my cause is righteous.
- 30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?

World English Bible (web)
American Standard Version (asv - 2)

English (en)

The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
