Job Replies to Eliphaz Then Job responded:
“Oh, if only my grief could be weighed, and my misfortune laid on the scales too!
But because it is heavier than the sand of the sea, that is why my words have been wild.
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; my spirit drinks their poison; God’s sudden terrors are arrayed against me.

I have refused to touch such things; they are like loathsome food to me.
