Job 16:7-16

7But now He has 1exhausted me; You have laid 2waste all my group of loved ones.8And You have shriveled me up, 3 4It has become a witness; And my 5infirmity rises up against me, It testifies to my face.9His anger has 6torn me and 7hunted me down, He has 8gnashed at me with His teeth; My 9enemy 10glares at me.10They have 11gaped at me with their mouths, They have 12 13slapped me on the cheek with contempt; They have 14massed themselves against me.11God hands me over to criminals, And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.12I was at ease, but 15He shattered me, And He has grasped me by my neck and shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His 16target.13His 17arrows surround me. He splits my kidneys open without mercy; He pours out 18my bile on the ground.14He 19breaks through me with breach after breach; He 20runs at me like a warrior.15I have sewed 21sackcloth over my skin, And 22thrust my horn in the dust.16My face is flushed from 23weeping, 24And deep darkness is on my eyelids,
