Job 16:7-14

Common English Bible

⁷ Now God has surely worn me out.
    You have destroyed my entire group,
⁸     seized me, which became grounds for an accusation.^[a]
My leanness rises to bear witness against me.
⁹ His anger tears me and afflicts me;
    he slashes at me with his teeth.
    My enemy pierces me with his eyes.
¹⁰ They open their mouths at me
    and strike my cheek in a taunt;
        they gang up on me.
¹¹ God delivers me to a criminal
    and forces me into the hands of the wicked.
¹² I was at rest, but he shattered me,
    seized me by the back of my neck,
    dashed me into pieces;
        he raised me up for his target.
¹³ His archers surround me;
    he cuts my kidneys open without pity and doesn’t care,
        pours my gall on the ground,
¹⁴     bursts me open over and over,
        runs against me like a strong man.
