Job 16:7-14

Modern English Version

⁷ But now He has made me weary;
    You have made desolate all my company.
⁸ You have filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me;
    and my leanness has risen up and bears witness to my face.
⁹ He has torn me in His wrath, and He has carried a grudge against me.
    He has gnashed me with His teeth;
    my enemy sharpens His gaze upon me.
¹⁰ They have gaped upon me with their mouth;
    they have struck me upon the cheek with reproach;
    they have gathered themselves together against me.
¹¹ God has delivered me to the ungodly
    and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
¹² I was at ease, but He has shattered me.
    He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces,
and set me up for His target.
¹³     His archers surround me;
He splits open my kidneys and does not pity;
    He pours out my gall upon the ground.
¹⁴ He pierces me with thrust after thrust;
    He rushes upon me like a warrior.
