16:1Then Job answered and said, Compare
16:2I have heard many such things; / Troubling comforters are you all. Compare
16:3Do words of wind have an end? / Or what has provoked you that you so respond? Compare
16:4I also could speak like you, / If your soul were in my soul's stead; / I could join my words together against you / And shake my head at you. Compare
16:5I could strengthen you with my mouth, / And the movement of my lips would mitigate your pain. Compare
16:6If I speak, my pain is not mitigated; / And if I forbear, how much departs from me? Compare
16:7But now He has worn me out; / You have desolated all my company. Compare
16:8And You have seized me; it is a testimony against me; / And my leanness rises up against me; it testifies to my face. Compare
16:9In His wrath He has torn me to pieces and been adverse toward me; / He has gnashed His teeth at me. / My Adversary sharpens His eyes at me. Compare
16:10With their mouth they gape at me; / They strike my cheek reproachfully; / They mass themselves together against me. Compare
16:11God has delivered me over to the unjust / And cast me down into the hands of the wicked. Compare
16:12I was at ease, and He broke me apart; / Indeed He took me by my neck and dashed me to pieces. / And He set me up as His target; Compare
16:13His archers surrounded me; / He split open my kidneys and did not desist; / He poured out my gall upon the earth. Compare
16:14He broke me open with breach upon breach; / He ran at me like a mighty man of war. Compare
16:15I have sewn sackcloth upon my skin / And have cast my horn into the dust. Compare
16:16My face is reddened with weeping, / And on my eyelids is the shadow of death; Compare
16:17Though there is no violence in my hands, / And my prayer is pure. Compare
16:18O earth, do not cover my blood; / And let there be no resting place for my crying out. Compare
16:19Even now, there in heaven is my Witness, / And He who vouches for me is in the heights. Compare
16:20My friends deride me; / My eye pours out tears to God, Compare
16:21That He would plead for a man in his case with God / And for a son of man in his case with his neighbor. Compare
16:22For when years few in number have come, / I will go the way from which I cannot return. Compare
