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
Revised Standard Version
7 Surely now God has worn me out;
he has[a] made desolate all my company.
8 And he has[b] shriveled me up,
which is a witness against me;
and my leanness has risen up against me,
it testifies to my face.
9 He has torn me in his wrath, and hated me;
he has gnashed his teeth at me;
my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.
10 Men have gaped at me with their mouth,
they have struck me insolently upon the cheek,
they mass themselves together against me.
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 asunder;
he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces;
he set me up as his target,
13 his archers surround me.
He slashes open my kidneys, and does not spare;
he pours out my gall on the ground.
14 He breaks me with breach upon breach;
he runs upon me like a warrior.
