Oh That My Vexation Were Weighed — Job 5:23–6:4

For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field;
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace;
And thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing.

Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great,
And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age,
Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season.

Lo this, we have searched it, so it is;
Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

Then Job answered and said,

Oh that my vexation were but weighed,
And all my calamity laid in the balances!

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas:
Therefore have my words been rash.

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.
