Job 6:3 Context
1But Iob answered, and sayd, 2Oh that my griefe were throughly weighed, and my calamitie layd in the balances together. 3For now it would be heauier then the sand of the sea, therefore my words are swallowed vp. 4For the arrowes of the Almightie are within me, the poyson whereof drinketh vp my spirit: the terrors of God doe set themselues in aray against mee. 5Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe ouer his fodder?
