Job 16:6-16



6
“If I speak, amy pain is not lessened,
And if I cease, what will go forth from me?

7
But now He has aexhausted me;
You have made bdesolate all my company.

8
You have shriveled me up,
aIt has become a witness;
And my bleanness rises up against me,
It answers to my face.

9
His anger has atorn me and 1hunted me down;
He has bgnashed at me with His teeth;
My cadversary sharpens his eyes to look at me.

10
They have aopened their mouth wide at me;
They have bstruck me on the cheek in reproach;
They have cmassed themselves against me.

11
God hands me over to ruffians
And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.

12
I was at ease, but aHe shattered me,
And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces;
He has also set me up as His btarget.

13
His aarrows surround me.
Without mercy He splits my kidneys open;
He pours out bmy gall on the ground.

14
He abreaks through me with breach after breach;
He bruns at me like a warrior.

15
I have sewed asackcloth over my skin
And bthrust my horn in the dust.

16
My face is flushed from aweeping,
bAnd the shadow of death is on my eyelids,
