Job Chapter[BR] 16

1 And Job answered and said, 2 I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters. 3 Shall words of wind have an end? Or what provokes you that you should answer? 4 I also could speak as you do; if your soul were in my soul's place. I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you. 5 I might make you strong with my mouth, and the moving of my lips would spare you. 6 Though I speak, my pain is not held back, and though I forbear, in what way am I eased? 7 But now He has made me weary; You have made all my company desolate. 8 And You have plucked me, for it is a witness, and my failure rises up against me, and it answers to my face. 9 His anger has torn and hated me; He gnashes on me with His teeth; my enemy sharpens his eyes at me; 10 They have gaped on me with their mouth; and have scornfully beaten me on the cheek; they gather themselves against me. 11 God has delivered me to the perverse; and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. 12 I was at ease, but He has broken me in pieces; yea, He has also taken me by my neck and shaken me to pieces and set me up for His mark. 13 His archers hem me in; He splits my inward parts, and does not spare; He pours out my gall on the ground. 14 He breaks me with break on break; He runs on me like a giant. 15 I have sewed sackcloth on my skin and thrust my horn in the dust. 16 My face is reddened from weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; 17 though no violence is in my hand, and my prayer is pure. 18 Oh earth, do not cover my blood, and let not my cry have a place. 19 Also now, behold, my Witness is in Heaven, and He who testifies of me is on high. 20 My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God. 21 Oh that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleads for his neighbor! 22 For the years that are few will come, and I shall go the way from where I shall not return.
1. And Job answered and said, 2. I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters. 3. Shall words of wind have an end? Or what provokes you that you should answer? 4. I also could speak as you do; if your soul were in my soul's place. I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you. 5. I might make you strong with my mouth, and the moving of my lips would spare you. 6. Though I speak, my pain is not held back, and though I forbear, in what way am I eased? 7. But now He has made me weary; You have made all my company desolate. 8. And You have plucked me, for it is a witness, and my failure rises up against me, and it answers to my face. 9. His anger has torn and hated me; He gnashes on me with His teeth; my enemy sharpens his eyes at me; 10. They have gaped on me with their mouth; and have scornfully beaten me on the cheek; they gather themselves against me. 11. God has delivered me to the perverse; and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. 12. I was at ease, but He has broken me in pieces; yea, He has also taken me by my neck and shaken me to pieces and set me up for His mark. 13. His archers hem me in; He splits my inward parts, and does not spare; He pours out my gall on the ground. 14. He breaks me with break on break; He runs on me like a giant. 15. I have sewed sackcloth on my skin and thrust my horn in the dust. 16. My face is reddened from weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; 17. though no violence is in my hand, and my prayer is pure. 18. Oh earth, do not cover my blood, and let not my cry have a place. 19. Also now, behold, my Witness is in Heaven, and He who testifies of me is on high. 20. My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God. 21. Oh that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleads for his neighbor! 22. For the years that are few will come, and I shall go the way from where I shall not return.
