Job 16:6-14
6“But if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain from speaking – how much of it goes away?
7Surely now he has worn me out, you have devastated my entire household.
8You have seized me, and it has become a witness; my leanness has risen up against me and testifies against me.
9His anger has torn me and persecuted me; he has gnashed at me with his teeth; my adversary locks his eyes on me.
10People have opened their mouths against me, they have struck my cheek in scorn; they unite together against me.
11God abandons me to evil men, and throws me into the hands of wicked men.
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.
