Context of Job 16:11
9His anger has torn and tormented me; He gnashes at me with his teeth; my enemy looks at me with daggers in his eyes. 10People open their mouths against me; they strike my cheek in contempt; they unite together against me. God has handed me over to the ungodly, and tossed me into the hands of the wicked. 12I was at ease, but He shattered me; He grabbed me by the neck and crushed me. He has made me His target; 13His archers surround me. Without mercy He pierces my kidneys and spills my gall on the ground.
