s in peace, and visiting thy beauty, thou shalt not sin. 5:25. Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth. 5:26. Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in in its season. 5:27. Behold, this is even so, as we have searched out: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind. Job Chapter 6 6:1. But Job answered, and said: 6:2. O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, and the calamity that I suffer, were weighed in a balance. My sins, etc... He does not mean to compare his sufferings with his real sins: but with the imaginary crimes which his friends imputed to him: and especially with his wrath, or grief, expressed in the third chapter, which they so much accused. Though, as he tells them here, it bore no proportion with the greatness of his calamity. 6:3. As the sand of the sea, this would appear heavier: therefore, my words are full of sorrow: 6:4. For the arrows of the Lord are in me, the rage whereof drinketh up my spirit, and the terrors of the Lord war against me. 6:5.

And that this may be my comfort, that afflicting me with sorrow, he spare not, nor I contradict the words of the Holy one. 6:11. For what is my strength, that I can hold out? or what is my end, that I should keep patience? 6:12. My strength is not the strength of stones, nor is my flesh of brass. 6:13. Behold there is no help for me in myself, and my familiar friends also are departed from me. 6:14. He that taketh away mercy from his friend, for saketh the fear of the Lord. 6:15. My brethren have passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the valleys. 6:16. They that fear the hoary frost, the snow shall fall upon them. 6:17. At the time when they shall be scattered they shall perish: and after it groweth hot, they shall be melted out of their place. 6:18. The paths of th
