Job 16:7-14
Lexham English Bible
7 “Surely now he has worn me out;
you[a] have devastated all my company.
8 Thus[b] you shriveled me up;[c]
it became a witness.
And my leanness has risen up against me;
it testifies to my face.
9 His wrath has torn, and he has been hostile toward me;
he gnashed at me with his teeth.
My foe sharpens his eyes against me.
10 They gaped at me with their mouth;
they struck my cheeks with disgrace;
they have massed themselves together against me.
11 God delivers me to an evil one,
and he casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12 “I was at ease, then[d] he broke me in two,
and he seized me by my neck;
then[e] he shattered me
and set me up as a target for him.
13 His archers surround me;
he slashes open my kidneys, and he does not have compassion;
he pours out my gall on the ground.
14 He breached me breach upon breach;[f]
he rushes at me like a warrior.
