Job 16:7-14

Amplified Bible

⁷
“But now God has exhausted me.
You [O Lord] have destroyed all my family and my household.
⁸
“You have taken a firm hold on me and have shriveled me up,
It has become a witness [against me];
And my leanness [and infirmity] rises up [as evidence] against me,
It testifies to my face [about my guilt].
⁹
“His wrath has torn me and hunted me down,
He has gnashed at me with his teeth;
My adversary sharpens His gaze and glares [with piercing eyes] at me.
¹⁰
“They have gaped at me with their mouths,
With contempt they have struck me on the cheek;
They massed themselves together [and conspired] against me.^(A)
¹¹
“God hands me over to ^[a]criminals
And tosses me [headlong] into the hands of the wicked.
¹²
“I was [living] at ease, but He crushed me and broke me apart,
And He has seized me by the neck and has shaken me to pieces;
He has also set me up as His target.
¹³
“His arrows surround me.
He pierces my kidneys (vital organs) without mercy;
He pours out my gall on the ground.
¹⁴
“He attacks me, making wound after wound;
He runs at me like a warrior.
