Job 16:13-22

13 and shoots arrows at me from every side - arrows that pierce and wound me; and even then he shows no pity.

13 his archers surround me. Without pity, he pierces my kidneys and spills my gall on the ground.

14 He wounds me again and again; he attacks like a soldier gone mad with hate.

14 Again and again he bursts upon me; he rushes at me like a warrior.

15 I mourn and wear clothes made of sackcloth, and I sit here in the dust defeated.

15 “I have sewed sackcloth over my skin and buried my brow in the dust.

16 I have cried until my face is red, and my eyes are swollen and circled with shadows,

16 My face is red with weeping, dark shadows ring my eyes;

17 but I am not guilty of any violence, and my prayer to God is sincere.

17 yet my hands have been free of violence and my prayer is pure.

18 O Earth, don't hide the wrongs done to me! Don't let my call for justice be silenced!

18 “Earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry never be laid to rest!

19 There is someone in heaven to stand up for me and take my side.

19 Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.

20 My friends scorn me; my eyes pour out tears to God.

20 My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;

21 I want someone to plead with God for me, as one pleads for a friend.

21 on behalf of a man he pleads with God as one pleads for a friend.

22 My years are passing now, and I walk the road of no return.

22 “Only a few years will pass before I take the path of no return.
