Job 16:7-14
1599 Geneva Bible
7 But now [a]he maketh me weary: O God, thou hast made all my [b]congregation desolate,
8 And hast made me full of [c]wrinkles which is a witness thereof, and my leanness riseth up in me, testifying the same in my face.
9 [d]His wrath hath torn me, and he hateth me, and gnasheth upon me with his teeth: mine enemy hath sharpened his eyes against me.
10 They have opened their mouths upon me, and smitten me on the [e]cheek in reproach: they gathered themselves together against me.
11 God hath delivered me to the unjust, and hath made me to turn out of the way by the [f]hands of the wicked.
12 I was in wealth, but he hath brought me to nought: he hath taken me by the neck and beaten me, and set me as a mark for himself.
13 His [g]archers compass me round about: he cutteth my reins, and doth not spare, and poureth my gall [h]upon the ground.
14 He hath broken me with one breaking upon another, and runneth upon me like a giant.
