Job 6:1

"Oh that my grief were actually weighed and laid in the balances together with my calamity! For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas": If his misery and suffering could be measured it would be heavier than all the wet sand in the oceans! "What. picturesque way to express his burdens, for wet sand is unusually heavy" (Zuck p. 36). "Therefore my words have been rash": He justifies his outburst in chapter three by suggesting that such rash words were nothing compared to his suffering. Job admits what he said was rash, but he seems annoyed at the advice to having patience. His speech has been wild but not unjustified. His rash words are equal to his suffering.
