Job 16:7-14
International Standard Version
Job Claims of God’s Mistreatment
7 “God[a] has certainly worn me out;
you devastated my entire world.[b]
8 You’ve arrested me, making me testify against myself!
My leanness rises up to attack me, accusing[c] me to my face.
9 His anger tears me in his persistent resentment against me;
he gnashes his teeth at me.
My adversary glares[d] at me.
10 People gaped at me with mouths wide open;
they slap me in their scorn
and gather together against me.
11 God has delivered me over to the ungodly,
throwing me into the control of the wicked.
12 “He tore me apart when I was at ease;
grabbing me by my neck, he shook me to pieces—
then he really made me his target.
13 His archers surround me,
slashing open my kidneys without pity;
he pours out my gall on the ground.
14 Attack follows attack as he breaks through my defenses!
He runs over me like a mighty warrior.
Job 16:7-14
Lexham English Bible
7 “Surely now he has worn me out;
you[a] have devastated all my company.
8 Thus[b] you shriveled me up;[c]
it became a witness.
And my leanness has risen up against me;
it testifies to my face.
9 His wrath has torn, and he has been hostile toward me;
he gnashed at me with his teeth.
My foe sharpens his eyes against me.
10 They gaped at me with their mouth;
they struck my cheeks with disgrace;
they have massed themselves together against me.
11 God delivers me to an evil one,
and he casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12 “I was at ease, then[d] he broke me in two,
and he seized me by my neck;
then[e] he shattered me
and set me up as a target for him.
13 His archers surround me;
he slashes open my kidneys, and he does not have compassion;
he pours out my gall on the ground.
14 He breached me breach upon breach;[f]
he rushes at me like a warrior.
