Job 16:12-22
-
12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
-
13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
-
14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
-
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
-
16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
-
17 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
-
18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
-
19 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
-
20 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
-
21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
-
22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
