Job 6:3 — Meaning and Application

But Job answered and said,

Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! {laid: Heb. lifted up}

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up. {my words...: that is, I want words to express my grief}

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.

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder? {when he...: Heb. at grass?}
