Job 16:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰     My foes taunt me, their mouths gape in derision,
        they slap my cheek in disgust, and they conspire against me.
¹¹     God has forsaken me to young thugs
        and flung me into the hands of evildoers who lie in wait for me.
¹²     I was living a good life—a quiet, peaceful life—
        when He began to beat on me;
    He throttled my neck, tore me apart,
        and then propped me up
        at the far end of the field, making me a target.
