Job 16

1Then JobH347 answeredH559 and saidH559, 2I have heardH8085 manyH7227 suchH428 things: miserable comfortersH5162 are ye allH3605. 3Shall vain wordsH1697 have an endH7093? or whatH4100 provoketh thee that thou answerest? 4I also couldH1571 speakH1696 as ye do; ifH3863 your soulH5315 were in my soul’sH5315 steadH8478, I couldH1571 joinH2266 wordsH4405 togetherH5921 againstH5921 youH5921, and shakeH5128 mineH8478 headH7218 at youH5921. 5But I would strengthenH553 youH6310 with my mouthH6310, and the solaceH5205 of my lipsH8193 should assuage your grief. 6ThoughH518 I speakH1696, my grief is notH3808 assuaged: and thoughH518 I forbear, whatH4100 am I eased? 7But nowH6258 he hath madeH8074 meH8074 wearyH3811: thou hast madeH8074 desolateH8074 allH3605 my companyH5712. 8And thou hast laidH6440 fast hold on meH6440, which is a witnessH5707 againstH6440 meH6440: and my leannessH3585 riseth upH6965 againstH6440 meH6440, it testifieth to my faceH6440. 9He hath tornH2963 meH5921 in his wrathH639, and persecuted meH5921; he hath gnashedH2786 uponH5921 meH5921 with his teethH8127: mine adversary sharpeneth his eyesH5869 uponH5921 meH5921. 10They have gapedH6473 uponH5921 meH5921 with their mouthH6310; they have smittenH5221 meH5921 uponH5921 the cheekH3895 reproachfully: they gather themselvesH5921 togetherH3162 againstH5921 meH5921. 11GodH410 delivereth meH413 to the ungodlyH7563, and casteth meH413 intoH413 the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563. 12I was at easeH7961, and he brake meH270 asunder; yea, he hath takenH270 meH270 by the neckH6203, and dashed meH270 to pieces: he hath also setH6965 meH270 upH6965 for his mark. 13His archers compass meH5921 roundH5437 aboutH5921, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth notH3808 spareH2550; he poureth outH8210 my gallH4845 uponH5921 the groundH776. 14He breaketh meH6440 with breachH6556 uponH5921 breachH6556; he runneth uponH5921 meH6440 like a giant. 15I have sewedH8609 sackclothH8242 uponH5921 my skinH1539, and have laid my hornH7161 in the dustH6083. 16My faceH6440 is foul with weepingH1065, and on my eyelidsH6079 is the shadowH6757 of deathH6757; 17AlthoughH3808 there is noH3808 violenceH2555 in mine handsH3709, and my prayerH8605 is pureH2134. 18O earthH776, coverH3680 notH408 thou my bloodH1818, and letH408 my cryH2201 have noH408 resting placeH4725. 19EvenH1571 nowH6258, beholdH2009, my witnessH5707 is in heavenH8064, and he that coucheth for me is on highH4791. 20My friendsH7453 scorn meH413: but mine eyeH5869 poureth outH413 tears unto GodH433; 21That he would maintain the right of a manH120 with GodH433, and of a sonH1121 of manH120 with his neighbour! 22For when a fewH4557 yearsH8141 are comeH1980, I shall goH1980 the wayH734 whence I shall notH3808 returnH7725.
