New Testament

Job 6:6-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

6. Is food that doesn't have any taste eaten without salt? Is there any flavor in the white of an egg?

7. I refuse to touch that kind of food. It makes me sick.

8. "I wish I could have what I'm asking for! I wish God would give me what I'm hoping for!

9. I wish he would crush me! I wish his powerful hand would cut off my life!

10. Then I'd still have one thing to comfort me. It would be that I haven't said no to the Holy One's commands. That would give me joy in spite of my pain that never ends.

11. "I'm so weak that I no longer have any hope. Things have gotten so bad that I can't wait for help anymore.

12. Am I as strong as stone? Is my body made out of bronze?
