Job 16:7-14
Legacy Standard Bible
7 But now He has (A)exhausted me;
You have made (B)desolate all my company.
8 You have shriveled me up,
(C)It has become a witness;
And my (D)leanness rises up against me,
It answers to my face.
9 His anger has (E)torn me and [a]hunted me down;
He has (F)gnashed at me with His teeth;
My (G)adversary sharpens his eyes to look at me.
10 They have (H)opened their mouth wide at me;
They have (I)struck me on the cheek in reproach;
They have (J)massed themselves against me.
11 God hands me over to ruffians
And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, but (K)He shattered me,
And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces;
He has also set me up as His (L)target.
13 His (M)arrows surround me.
Without mercy He splits my kidneys open;
He pours out (N)my gall on the ground.
14 He (O)breaks through me with breach after breach;
He (P)runs at me like a warrior.

Job 16:7-14
Common English Bible
The innocent are God’s targets
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.
