Job 16:7-17 (Holman Christian Standard)
7
Surely He has now exhausted me. You have devastated my entire family.
8
You have shriveled me upa-it has become a witness; My frailty rises up against me and testifies to my face.
9
His anger tears [at me], and He harasses me. He gnashes His teeth at me. My enemy pierces me with His eyes.
10
They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt;b they join themselves together against me.
11
God hands me over to unjust men;cd He throws me into the hands of the wicked.
12
I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized [me] by the scruff of the neck and smashed me to pieces. He set me up as His target;e
13
His archersf surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and pours my bile on the ground.
14
He breaks through my defenses again and again;g He charges at me like a warrior.h
15
I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my strengthi in the dust.j
16
My face has grown red with weeping, and the shadow of death covers my eyes,k
17
although my hands are free from violence and my prayer is pure.l
