Job 16:6–17

⁶Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged:

And though I forbear, ^†what am I eased?

⁷But now he hath made me weary:

Thou hast made desolate all ^fmy company.

⁸And thou hast ^gfilled me with wrinkles, which is a ^hwitness against me:

And my ^gileanness rising up in me

Beareth witness to my face.

^9kHe teareth me in his wrath, who ^lhateth me:

He ^mgnasheth upon me with his teeth;

Mine enemy ⁿsharpeneth his eyes upon me.

¹⁰They have ^ogaped upon me with their mouth;

They ^phave smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully;

They have gathered themselves together against me.

¹¹God ^†hath delivered me to the ^qungodly,

And ^rturned me over into the hands of the wicked.

¹²I was at ease, but he hath ^sbroken me asunder:

He hath also taken me by my neck, and ^tshaken me to pieces,

And set me up for his ^umark.

¹³His ^warchers compass me round about,

He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare;

He ^xpoureth out my gall upon the ground.

¹⁴He breaketh me with ^ybreach upon breach,

He runneth upon me like a giant.

¹⁵I have sewed ^zsackcloth upon my ^gskin,

And ^adefiled my horn in the dust.

¹⁶My face ^bis foul with weeping,

And on my eyelids is ^cthe shadow of death;

^17dNot for any injustice in mine hands:

Also my prayer is pure.
