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)
