Job 16:12-17

12I was at ease, and he broke me apart; he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces; he set me up as his target;

13his archers surround me. He slashes open my kidneys and does not spare; he pours out my gall on the ground.

14He breaks me with breach upon breach; he runs upon me like a warrior.

15I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin and have laid my strength in the dust.

16My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is deep darkness,

17although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
