Job 16:6-16

⁶ Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased? ⁷ But now he hath made me weary: Thou hast made desolate all my company. ⁸ And thou hast laid fast hold on me, [which] is a witness [against me]: And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face. ⁹ He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me. ¹⁰ They have gaped upon me with their mouth; They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully: They gather themselves together against me. ¹¹ God delivereth me to the ungodly, And casteth me into the hands of the wicked. ¹² I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: He hath also set me up for his mark. ¹³ His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground. ¹⁴ He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant. ¹⁵ I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, And have laid my horn in the dust. ¹⁶ My face is red with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
