Job 16:6-17

6Even ifH518 I speakH1696, my painH3511 is notH3808 relievedH2820, and if I hold backH2308, howH4100 will it go awayH1980?7SurelyH389 He has nowH6258 exhausted meH3811; You have devastatedH8074 allH3605 my familyH5712.8You have bound meH7059, and it has becomeH1961 a witnessH5707; my frailtyH3585 rises upH6965 and testifiesH6030 against meH6440.9His angerH639 has torn meH2963 and opposed meH7852; He gnashesH2786 His teethH8127 at meH5921. My adversaryH6862 piercesH3913 me with His eyesH5869.

10They openH6473 their mouthsH6310 against meH5921and strikeH5221 my cheeksH3895 with contemptH2781;they joinH4390 togetherH3162 against meH5921.11GodH410 has delivered meH5462 toH413 unjust menH5759;He has thrown meH3399 toH5921 the clutchesH3027 of the wickedH7563.12I wasH1961 at easeH7961, but He shattered meH6565;He seized meH270 by the neckH6203 and crushed meH6327.He has set me upH6965 as His targetH4307;13His archersH7228 surround meH5437H5921.He piercesH6398 my kidneysH3629 withoutH3808 mercyH2550and spillsH8210 my gallH4845 on the groundH776.14He breaks meH6555 with woundH6556 uponH5921 woundH6556;He rushesH7323 meH5921 like a mighty warriorH1368.
15I have sewnH8609 sackclothH8242 overH5921 my skinH1539;I have buriedH5953 my hornH7161 in the dustH6083.16My faceH6440 is redH2560 withH4480 weepingH1065,and deep shadowsH6757 ringH5921 my eyesH6079;17yetH5921 my handsH3709 are free ofH3808 violenceH2555and my prayerH8605 is pureH2134.
