Job 16:7-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Surely now God has worn me out;
he has[a] made desolate all my company.(A)
8 And he has[b] shriveled me up,
which is a witness against me;
my leanness has risen up against me,
and it testifies to my face.(B)
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.(C)
10 They have gaped at me with their mouths;
they have struck me insolently on the cheek;
they mass themselves together against me.(D)
11 God gives me up to the evil
and casts me into the hands of the wicked.(E)
12 I was at ease, and he broke me in two;
he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces;
he set me up as his target;(F)
13 his archers surround me.
He slashes open my kidneys and shows no mercy;
he pours out my gall on the ground.(G)
14 He bursts upon me again and again;
he rushes at me like a warrior.(H)

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.
