Job 16:6-14

6“Though I speak, my grief is not relieved; And if I remain silent, how am I eased?

7But now He has worn me out; You have made desolate all my company.

8You have shriveled me up, And it is a witness against me; My leanness rises up against me And bears witness to my face.

9He tears me in His wrath, and hates me; He gnashes at me with His teeth; My adversary sharpens His gaze on me.

10They gape at me with their mouth, They strike me reproachfully on the cheek, They gather together against me.

11God has delivered me to the ungodly, And turned me over to the hands of the wicked.

12I was at ease, but He has shattered me; He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces; He has set me up for His target,

13His archers surround me. He pierces my heart and does not pity; He pours out my gall on the ground.

14He breaks me with wound upon wound; He runs at me like a warrior.
