"For what is my strength, that I may continue? Or what is my goal, so that I may act patiently? "
— Job 6:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?”
“What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is mine end, that I should be patient? ”
“What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?”
“What is my strength, that I should wait? and what is my end, that I should prolong my life?”
“For what is my strength, that I can hold out? or what is my end, that I should keep patience?”
“Have I strength to go on waiting, or have I any end to be looking forward to?”
“What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?”
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Behold, there is no help for me in myself, and my loved ones also have withdrawn from me.
He who takes away mercy from his friend, abandons the fear of the Lord.
