Job 16:6-22

6Though I speakH1696, my griefH3511 is not relievedH2820: and though I forbearH2308, what am I easedH1980?1 7But now he hath made me wearyH3811: thou hast made desolateH8074 all my companyH5712. 8And thou hast filled me with wrinklesH7059, which is a witnessH5707 against me : and my leannessH3585 rising upH6965 in me beareth witnessH6030 to my faceH6440. 9He tearethH2963 me in his wrathH639, who hatethH7852 me: he gnashethH2786 upon me with his teethH8127; my enemyH6862 sharpenethH3913 his eyesH5869 upon me. 10They have gapedH6473 upon me with their mouthH6310; they have smittenH5221 me upon the cheekH3895 reproachfullyH2781; they have gatheredH4390 themselves togetherH3162 against me. 11GodH410 hath deliveredH5462 me to the ungodlyH5760, and turned me overH3399 into the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563.2 12I was at easeH7961, but he hath broken me asunderH6565: he hath also takenH270 me by my neckH6203, and shaken me to piecesH6327, and set me upH6965 for his markH4307. 13His archersH7228 surround meH5437, he cleavethH6398 my reinsH3629 asunderH6398, and doth not spareH2550; he poureth outH8210 my gallH4845 upon the groundH776. 14He breakethH6555 me with breachH6556 uponH6440 breachH6556, he runnethH7323 upon me like a giantH1368. 15I have sewedH8609 sackclothH8242 upon my skinH1539, and defiledH5953 my strengthH7161 in the dustH6083. 16My faceH6440 is foulH2560 with weepingH1065, and on my eyelidsH6079 are the shadow of deathH6757;

17Not for anyinjusticeH2555 in my handsH3709: also my prayerH8605 is pureH2134. 18O earthH776, coverH3680 not thou my bloodH1818, and let my cryH2201 have no placeH4725. 19Also now, behold, my witnessH5707 is in heavenH8064, and my recordH7717 is on highH4791.3 20My friendsH7453 scornH3887 me: but my eyeH5869 poureth outH1811 tears to GodH433.4 21O that one might pleadH3198 for a manH1397 with GodH433, as a manH120 pleadeth for his neighbourH1121H7453!5 22When a fewH4557 yearsH8141 are comeH857, then I shall goH1980 the wayH734 from which I shall not returnH7725.6
