Job 16:7-14

New Century Version

⁷ God, you have surely taken away my strength
    and destroyed my whole family.
⁸ You have made me thin and weak,
    and this shows I have done wrong.
⁹ God attacks me and tears me with anger;
    he grinds his teeth at me;
    my enemy stares at me with his angry eyes.
¹⁰ People open their mouths to make fun of me
    and hit my cheeks to insult me.
    They join together against me.
¹¹ God has turned me over to evil people
    and has handed me over to the wicked.
¹² Everything was fine with me,
    but God broke me into pieces;
    he held me by the neck and crushed me.
He has made me his target;
¹³ his archers surround me.
He stabs my kidneys without mercy;
    he spills my blood on the ground.
¹⁴ Again and again God attacks me;
    he runs at me like a soldier.
