Job 6:1-4 King James Version (KJV)

6 But Job answered and said,

2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!

3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
Job 6:1-4 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
Job’s Second Speech: A Response to Eliphaz


6 Then Job answered and said,

2 “If only my vexation could be well weighed,
and my calamity could be lifted up together with it in the balances,
3 for then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas;
therefore my words have been rash,
4 for the arrows of Shaddaiare in me;
my spirit drinks their poison;
the terrors of God are arrayed against me.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.


1-2 It is not possible to weight troubles. The difference here between troubles and grief is that the troubles are the problem and his grief is the result, it our troubles that give us grief.


3 This was far from the truth, he had it bad but never that bad. Job did not have it easy at this time that was what Satan wanted for him but his troubles was something the Lord could get him thru; we will not go thru anything that the Lord can’t bring us thru.


4 Job now blames God for his troubles, God did allow it and Job should be going to God get thru it instead of blaming Him, God can not do anything that is sinful or bad, God allowed Satan to do this to Job.
