Job 16
- 1 And Job answereth and saith: --
-
2 I have heard many such things, Miserable comforters
are ye all. - 3 Is there an end to words of wind? Or what doth embolden thee that thou answerest?
- 4 I also, like you, might speak, If your soul were in my soul's stead. I might join against you with words, And nod at you with my head.
- 5 I might harden you with my mouth, And the moving of my lips might be sparing.
- 6 If I speak, my pain is not restrained, And I cease--what goeth from me?
- 7 Only, now, it hath wearied me; Thou hast desolated all my company,
- 8 And Thou dost loathe me, For a witness it hath been, And rise up against me doth my failure, In my face it testifieth.
- 9 His anger hath torn, and he hateth me, He hath gnashed at me with his teeth, My adversary sharpeneth his eyes for me.
- 10 They have gaped on me with their mouth, In reproach they have smitten my cheeks, Together against me they set themselves.
- 11 God shutteth me up unto the perverse, And to the hands of the wicked turneth me over.
- 12 At ease I have been, and he breaketh me, And he hath laid hold on my neck, And he breaketh me in pieces, And he raiseth me to him for a mark.
- 13 Go round against me do his archers. He splitteth my reins, and spareth not, He poureth out to the earth my gall.
- 14 He breaketh me--breach upon breach, He runneth upon me as a mighty one.
- 15 Sackcloth I have sewed on my skin, And have rolled in the dust my horn.
-
16 My face is foul with weeping, And on mine eyelids
is death-shade. -
17 Not for violence in my hands, And my prayer
is pure. - 18 O earth, do not thou cover my blood! And let there not be a place for my cry.
-
19 Also, now, lo, in the heavens
is my witness, And my testifier in the high places. -
20 My interpreter
is my friend, Unto God hath mine eye dropped: - 21 And he reasoneth for a man with God, And a son of man for his friend.
- 22 When a few years do come, Then a path I return not do I go.
