Amplified Bible
Job 16:6-14
6“If I speak [to you miserable comforters], my pain is not relieved; And if I refrain [from speaking], what [pain or anguish] leaves me?
7But now God has exhausted me. You [O Lord] have destroyed all my family and my household.
8You have taken a firm hold on me and have shriveled me up, It has become a witness [against me]; And my leanness [and infirmity] rises up [as evidence] against me, It testifies to my face [about my guilt].
9His wrath has torn me and hunted me down, He has gnashed at me with his teeth; My adversary sharpens His gaze and glares [with piercing eyes] at me.
10They have gaped at me with their mouths, With contempt they have struck me on the cheek; They massed themselves together [and conspired] against me.
11God hands me over to criminals And tosses me [headlong] into the hands of the wicked.
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.
