Job 16:7-16

7But now He has 1exhausted me; You have laid 2waste all my company.8You have shriveled me up, 3It has become a witness; And my 4leanness rises up against me, It testifies to my face.9His anger has 5torn me and 6hunted me down, He has 7gnashed at me with His teeth; My 8adversary 9glares at me.10They have 10gaped at me with their mouth, They have 11 12slapped me on the cheek with contempt; They have 13massed themselves against me.11God hands me over to ruffians And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.12I was at ease, but 14He shattered me, And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His 15target.13His 16arrows surround me. Without mercy He splits my kidneys open; He pours out 17my gall on the ground.14He 18breaks through me with breach after breach; He 19runs at me like a warrior.15I have sewed 20sackcloth over my skin And 21thrust my horn in the dust.16My face is flushed from 22weeping, 23And deep darkness is on my eyelids,
