Job 16:6-17

6 “If I speak, my pain is not assuaged,
and if I forbear, how much of it leaves me?
7Surely now God has worn me out;
ahe has
Hebrew you have; also verse 8
made desolate all my company.
8And he has shriveled me up,
which is ca witness against me,
and my dleanness has risen up against me;
it testifies to my face.
9He has etorn me in his wrath fand hated me;
he has ggnashed his teeth at me;
my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.
10Men have hgaped at me with their mouth;
they have istruck me insolently on the cheek;
they jmass themselves together against me.
11God gives me up to the ungodly
and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12I was at ease, and he broke me apart;
he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces;
he set me up as his ktarget;
13his larchers surround me.
He slashes open my kidneys mand does not spare;
he npours out my gall on the ground.
14He breaks me with obreach upon breach;
he pruns upon me like a warrior.
15I have sewed qsackcloth upon my skin
and have laid rmy strength sin the dust.
16My face is red with weeping,
and on my eyelids is tdeep darkness,
17although there is no uviolence in my hands,
and my prayer is pure.
