Job 6:2

New International Reader's Version

“I wish my great pain could be weighed! I wish all my suffering could be weighed on scales!

See the chapter Copy

“Even today my problems are more than I can handle. In spite of my groans, God’s hand is heavy on me.

So let God weigh me in honest scales. Then he’ll know I haven’t done anything wrong.

Now trouble comes to you. And you are unhappy about it. It strikes you down. And you are afraid.

Job replied,

Each heart knows its own sadness. And no one else can share its joy.
