Job 6:2-4

New American Standard Bible

²“^(A)Oh if only my grief were actually weighed
And laid in the balances together with my disaster!
³For then it would be ^(B)heavier than the sand of the seas;
For that reason my words have been rash.
⁴For the ^(C)arrows of the Almighty are within me,
^[a]My spirit drinks their ^(D)poison;
The ^(E)terrors of God line up against me.
