Job 16:7-14
New King James Version
7 But now He has (A)worn me out;
You (B)have made desolate all my company.
8 You have shriveled me up,
And it is a (C)witness against me;
My leanness rises up against me
And bears witness to my face.
9 (D)He tears me in His wrath, and hates me;
He gnashes at me with His teeth;
(E)My adversary sharpens His gaze on me.
10 They (F)gape at me with their mouth,
They (G)strike me reproachfully on the cheek,
They gather together against me.
11 God (H)has delivered me to the ungodly,
And turned me over to the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, but He has (I)shattered me;
He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces;
He has (J)set me up for His target,
13 His archers surround me.
He pierces my [a]heart and does not pity;
He pours out my gall on the ground.
14 He breaks me with wound upon wound;
He runs at me like a [b]warrior.
Job 16:7-14
21st Century King James Version
7 But now He hath made me weary; Thou hast made desolate all my company.
8 And Thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me; and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
9 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me; he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
12 “I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder; he hath also taken me by my neck and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
13 His 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 giant.
