^ Jb 16.1: Then Job answered and said,
^ Jb 16.2: I have heard many such things: miserable comforters [are] ye all.
^ Jb 16.3: Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
^ Jb 16.4: 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.
^ Jb 16.5: [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage [your grief].
^ Jb 16.6: Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and [though] I forbear, what am I eased?
^ Jb 16.7: But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
^ Jb 16.8: 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.
^ Jb 16.9: He teareth [me] in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
^ Jb 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.
^ Jb 16.11: God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
^ Jb 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.
^ Jb 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.
^ Jb 16.14: He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
^ Jb 16.15: I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
^ Jb 16.16: My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids [is] the shadow of death;
^ Jb 16.17: Not for [any] injustice in mine hands: also my prayer [is] pure.
^ Jb 16.18: O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
^ Jb 16.19: Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my record [is] on high.
^ Jb 16.20: My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out [tears] unto God.
^ Jb 16.21: O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man [pleadeth] for his neighbour!
^ Jb 16.22: When a few years are come, then I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return.
