Job 16:12-17

12I was [living] at ease, but He crushed me and broke me apart, And He has seized me by the neck and has shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His target.

13His arrows surround me. He pierces my kidneys (vital organs) without mercy; He pours out my gall on the ground.

14He attacks me, making wound after wound; He runs at me like a warrior.

15I have sewed sackcloth over my skin [as a sign of mourning] And have defiled my horn (symbol of strength) in the dust.

16My face is red and swollen with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death [my eyes are dimmed],

17Although there is no violence or wrongdoing in my hands, And my prayer is pure.
