Job 16:7-14
New American Standard Bible
7 But now He has (A)exhausted me;
You have laid (B)waste all my group of loved ones.
8 And you have shriveled me up,
[a](C)It has become a witness;
And my (D)infirmity rises up against me,
It testifies to my face.
9 His anger has (E)torn me and [b]hunted me down,
He has (F)gnashed at me with His teeth;
My (G)enemy [c]glares at me.
10 They have (H)gaped at me with their mouths,
They have [d](I)slapped me on the cheek with contempt;
They have (J)massed themselves against me.
11 God hands me over to criminals,
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 my neck and shaken me to pieces;
He has also set me up as His (L)target.
13 His (M)arrows surround me.
He splits my kidneys open without mercy;
He pours out (N)my bile 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
American Standard Version
7 But now he hath made me weary:
Thou hast made desolate all my company.
8 And thou hast [a]laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me:
And my leanness riseth up against me,
It testifieth to my face.
9 He hath torn me in his wrath, and [b]persecuted me;
He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth:
Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth;
They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully:
They gather themselves together against me.
11 God delivereth me to the ungodly,
And casteth me into the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, and he brake me asunder;
Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces:
He hath also set me up for his mark.
13 His [c]archers compass me round about;
He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare;
He poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach;
He runneth upon me like a [d]giant.
