Job Chapter 6

Job 6

Job's first reaction 

1 Job answered and said,

2 had it been, someone's grief/vexation altogether were to be (hayah) lifted and to be (havah) weighed on a measuring-balance, what a shekel it would be!

3 my matter will be as heavy as the sand that will gulp up the sea,-

4 - - if the poison of the arrow of the overpowering one (shadday) is drunk up, the dread/the difficult times is taking a stand against the value/worth of the Spirit of the Extremely-Mighty God.

5 Why will a wild-ass bray/growl before grass? why will mixture of feeds for oxen/bull be in elevated place? 

6 how would slime/insipid things be eaten with salt? Is there exist a taste in a  mucus/saliva while dreaming?

7 even, a sorrowful soul will be unwilling to touch food. 

8 - if granted to come for a request before the Extremely Mighty God, what a given hope for me!

9 what an Extremely Mighty God (Eloah eloah), that will consent to bruising and plundering someone and will shake off HIS HAND! 

10 Such that, the utterances of consolation in the holy of Holies will be denied and sparing/commiserating with someone in travail/pain will be rejected/abhorred. 

11 What is the vigor of a soul? How (far) will he wait for the uttermost end, if it is deferred/extended? 

12 Is his vigor/strength as that of stone? Is the strength of flesh as bronze?

13 it is like, when the all-round-help from his resourcefulness (to support him) is driven way;

14 when friends/associates forsake their kindness to the afflicted one, who is under the terror of the overpowering one/mighty-burly one (shadday);

15 when one's brother covers up (deceitfully) and pass through a stream in an estate/farm, even one's own estate, 

16 and when the dark-colour of mourning is concealed/veiled by a (whitish) frost/ice of  snow - 

17 - however, during hot season/time, it is a crossroad that all of them will diminish/wane, and flow away from the place. 

18 it is like someone who have  ascended on the road, and was tempted into a formless/chaotic path, and get lost:

19 like Tema, on a procession/a march to Sheba and hoping for what will emerge on their path there. (Sheba is a kingdom of Yemen and Ethiopian region) -

(note: Eliphaz is an Ishmaelite from Tema) 

20 - they trusted themselves and went there  before detecting, they will be put to shame. 

21 they were afraid as they saw them and they were dismayed/cast down. 

22 it is said, why bribing is being given out to anyone because of his vigor/strength? 

23 whose hand would have redeemed them from a tight place, and even be rescued from the hand of tyrannical ones?

24 they will fearfully devise/imagine in silence and understand where they have gone astray. 

25 what an energy/pressure are in the utterances that will correct things! And why convincing/correcting the upright?

26 If your words are contrived/plaited by the SPIRIT, why will the utterances that will convince/correct be desperate/be unto despair? 

27 if an orphan fall down, (bad) friends/neighbors had dug/plotted it for him. 

28 if you turn your face to those who tell-lies, you may yield/consent to them.

29 if you turn back from rising-iniquities - you will be restored by Justification. 

30 can rising-inquities exist in a tongue? How can someone understand that it had been in the palate of his mouth? 

Job Chapter 7

Job 7

Job's first reaction continues... 

1 Why are the days of the masses of mortal-men on earth are like the days of hired-servants?

2 when the hired-servants are eagerly longing for a shade (comfortable place), the slaves are waiting for the (same) work;

3 to be enrolled for nights of toiling, and to inherit/possess moons/months of self-destruct.

4 why saying, rise up, when they just lie down, after a measure of evening, which is satiated/full of roaming to and fro till dawn.

5 their flesh which is wrapped around with skin, was brought/raised up from clod/lump of the earth and it will be rejected with disdain in the dust of the earth, in a moment. 

6 their days are being trifled with, and  their hope will finished up like a woven-fabric, at the uttermost end. 

7 Remember that, by the SPIRIT - our lives will be restored and we will see good things:

8 Eyes are like mirror, even the wall/border of the eyes. 

9 they walk around, and comes to an end. Instead of ascending to the cloud, they rather descend to sheol/hades -

10 - the will be in an unfamiliar place instead of turning back to their household. 

11 Souls should ponder with the SPIRIT while they are in a tight place and refraining their mouth from rehearsing bitterness. 

12 - even marine monsters (whales) are put in the sea as a prison. 

13 it is said, lift up yourself from your bed to ponder on your cot/couch, and you will be consoled:

14 at a time when you are shattered/terrified by dreams and visions, 

15 souls may choose strangling, and those with strong bones/bodies, (may choose) a place of death: 

16 they may cease to live because of the vanities of their days unto eternity is abhoring to them.

17 however, a mortal-man could exaggerate/make things large, for you to place your mind on it. 

18 why will you be inspecting/watching over a thing in the morning, when you can test/prove it at the moment? 

19 why swallowing up/devouring a weak-person just in an hour? 

20 To put it as a burden/an oracle: if Adam had sinned and he was preserved,  it is because, his deed was a striking encounter.

21 why did he cross over to lie down in the dust of the earth? Because he lifted up a revolt and perversity at the beginning of a new day. 

Job Chapter 8

 Job 8

The first submission from a friend, Bilhad

1 Bilhad the Shuhite answered, and said:

2 where is the texts/spoken verbiage of the SPIRIT? They are mighty/vast, as long as they are utterances from HIS mouth.

3 can anyone pervert/wrestle the verdicts of the Mighty ONE over the overpowering/mighty-burly-one (El shadday)? Can anyone pervert/wrestle HIS Justification?

4 if your children had sinned and a hand was sent out because of the crime/revolt, 

5 - the Mighty ONE over the overpowering one (Ela shadday), can (still) show mercy for a (new)-dawn- 

6 - you could awake/stir up HIS Justification (tsedeq), if you are clean and upright, and your habitation will be in safety;

7 If you are petty/small at first, your latter end can be greatly enlarged. 

8  so, as a FATHER: ask about the former generation, and by a research into former things, you can establish and - 

9 - know things from yester/past days, when the earth was a comfortable place (shade), 

10 why would you go out to say fearful words that are in your mind?

11 without water to be gulped up, will there be a swampy/marshy place? And how will meadow-grass grow up and be tall/high?.. 

12 ... If the green-herbs are cut down and wither in the face of the same FATHER. 

13 when the main-leader (el) is a hypocrite, he will mislay the path of hope and get lost:

14 if households are still contending/quarrelling over trust/security, they are like a loin/pelvis upon a spider-web. 

15 for that household to rise up, they will lean upon someone who is standing up and strongly fasten upon him.

16 when Nursed ones go out into a garden, the faces of things can still be moist even under the sun;

17 - and they can envision the dense/entwined roots, and the heap of stones of houses. 

18 they can also deny to see those places destroyed/done away with:

19 so, later on, there will be joy on the way, from the things that sprout up on the dust of the earth. 

20 however, if the main-leader (el) was a pious man, his hands would be strengthened to abhor doing evil, 

21 and his mouth will be full of laughter, and his lips with acclamation of joy (teruah). 

22 but the wicked who hate him in his tent, for nothing (sake), will be clothed with shame.
