Job 16:12-17

12I was in peace, and he has shattered me. He has seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has made me his target;

13his archers surround me. Without pity he pierces my kidneys and pours out my gall on the ground.

14He breaks through against me, time and time again; he rushes against me like a warrior.

15I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and buried my horn in the dust;

16my face is reddened because of weeping, and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness,

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