Job 16:6-17

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.
