"And may this be my consolation, that in afflicting me with sorrow, although he might not be lenient with me, I still do not contradict the words of the Holy One. "
— Job 6:10, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.”
“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. ”
“Be it still my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn't spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.”
“Then I would yet have my comfort, then I would rejoice, in spite of pitiless pain, for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.”
“And that this may be my comfort, that afflicting me with sorrow, he spare not, nor I contradict the words of the Holy one.”
“So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.”
“Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.”
The things that my soul was unwilling to touch before, now, because of anguish, are my foods.
Who will grant that my petition may arrive and that God may bestow on me what I expect,
and that he who, at first, had crushed me, will let loose his hand and cut me down?
And may this be my consolation, that in afflicting me with sorrow, although he might not be lenient with me, I still do not contradict the words of the Holy One.
For what is my strength, that I may continue? Or what is my goal, so that I may act patiently?
My strength is not the strength of stones, nor is my flesh made of bronze.
Behold, there is no help for me in myself, and my loved ones also have withdrawn from me.
