Context of Job 16:11
9His anger has torn me and hunted me down, He has gnashed at me with His teeth; My enemy glares at me. 10They have gaped at me with their mouths, They have slapped me on the cheek with contempt; They have massed themselves against me. God hands me over to criminals, And tosses me into the hands of the wicked. 12I was at ease, but He shattered me, And He has grasped me by my neck and shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His target. 13His arrows surround me. He splits my kidneys open without mercy; He pours out my bile on the ground.
