Job 6:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Job replied,

2. "I wish my great pain could be weighed! I wish all of my suffering could be weighed on scales!

3. I'm sure they would weigh more than the grains of sand on the seashore. No wonder I've been so quick to speak!

4. The Mighty One has shot me with his arrows. I have to drink their poison. God's terrors are aimed at me.

5. Does a wild donkey cry out when it has enough grass? Does an ox call out when it has plenty of food?
