Job 6:2-4
2 “Oh that my vexation were weighed,and all my calamity laid in the balances!
3For then it would be heavier than athe sand of the sea;
therefore my words have been rash.
4For bthe arrows of the Almighty are in me;
my spirit drinks their poison;
the terrors of God are arrayed against me.

1 O Lord, gGod of my salvation,I hcry out day and night before you.
2Let my prayer come before you;
iincline your ear to my cry!
3 For my soul is full of troubles,
and jmy life draws near to kSheol.
4I am counted among those who lgo down to the pit;
I am a man who has no strength,
5like one set loose among the dead,
like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom myou remember no more,
for they are ncut off from your hand.
6You have put me in othe depths of the pit,
in the pregions dark and qdeep.
7Your wrath rlies heavy upon me,
and you overwhelm me with sall your waves. Selah

14O Lord, why tdo you cast my soul away?Why udo you hide your face from me?

I suffer your terrors; I am helpless. ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain
16Your wrath has swept over me;
your wdreadful assaults destroy me.
