18_JOB_16_01 Then Job answered And said,
18_JOB_16_02 I have heard Many such things: miserable comforters [ are] ye all.
18_JOB_16_03 shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
18_JOB_16_04 I also could speak as ye [ do]: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, And shake mine head at you.
18_JOB_16_05 [ but] I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the moving of my lips should asswage [ your grief].
18_JOB_16_06 though I speak, my grief Is not asswaged: And [ though] I forbear, what am I eased?
18_JOB_16_07 but now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
18_JOB_16_08 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, [ which] Is A witness [ against me]: And my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
18_JOB_16_09 he teareth [ me] in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
18_JOB_16_10 they have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
18_JOB_16_11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, And turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
18_JOB_16_12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken [ me] by my neck, And shaken me to pieces, And set me up for his Mark.
18_JOB_16_13 his archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, And Doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
18_JOB_16_14 he breaketh me with Breach upon Breach, he runneth upon me like A giant.
18_JOB_16_15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, And defiled my horn in the dust.
18_JOB_16_16 my face Is foul with weeping, And on my eyelids [ Is] the shadow of death;
18_JOB_16_17 not for [ any] injustice in mine hands: also my prayer [ Is] pure.
18_JOB_16_18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, And let my cry have no place.
18_JOB_16_19 also now, behold, my witness [ Is] in heaven, And my record [ Is] on high.
18_JOB_16_20 my friends scorn me: [ but] mine eye poureth out [ tears] unto God.
18_JOB_16_21 O that one might plead for A man with God, as A man [ pleadeth] for his neighbour !
18_JOB_16_22 when A few years are come, Then I shall go the way [ whence] I shall not Return.
