Job 16:4-14

4 I also could speak as ye do. I wish your soul were in my soul’s stead, that I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would assuage the pain.
6 Though if I speak, my pain does not cease; and if I forbear to speak, it does not depart from me.
7 But now he has made me weary; thou hast made desolate all my company.
8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me bears witness to my face.
9 His wrath has torn me and has been against me; he gnashed upon me with his teeth; my enemy sharpened his eyes upon me.
10 They have opened their mouth against me; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
11 God has delivered me unto the liar, and in the hands of the wicked he has caused me to tremble.
12 I was prosperous, but he has broken me asunder; he has taken me by my neck and shaken me to pieces and set me up for his mark.
13 His archers compassed me round about; he cleaved my kidneys asunder and did not spare; he poured out my gall upon the ground.
14 He broke me with breach upon breach; he ran upon me like a giant.
