Job 16:11-20

English Standard Version

¹¹ God gives me up to the ungodly
    and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
¹² I 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 ^(A)target;
¹³     his ^(B)archers surround me.
He slashes open my kidneys ^(C)and does not spare;
    he ^(D)pours out my gall on the ground.
¹⁴ He breaks me with ^(E)breach upon breach;
    he ^(F)runs upon me like a warrior.
¹⁵ I have sewed ^(G)sackcloth upon my skin
    and have laid ^(H)my strength ^(I)in the dust.
¹⁶ My face is red with weeping,
    and on my eyelids is ^(J)deep darkness,
¹⁷ although there is no ^(K)violence in my hands,
    and my prayer is pure.
