Job 16




rotherham@Job:16:1 @ Then responded Job, and said:

rotherham@Job:16:2 @ I have heard many such things, Wearisome comforters, are ye all!

rotherham@Job:16:3 @ Is there to be an end to windy words? Or what so strongly exciteth thee, that thou must respond?

rotherham@Job:16:4 @ I also, like you, could speak, If your soul were in the place of my soul, I could string together words against you, and could therewith shake over you my head.

rotherham@Job:16:5 @ I could make you determined, by my mouth, and then my lip-solace should restrain you.

rotherham@Job:16:6 @ Though I do speak, unassuaged is my stinging pain, And, if I forbear, of what am I relieved?

rotherham@Job:16:7 @ But, now, hath he wearied me, thou hast destroyed all my family;

rotherham@Job:16:8 @ And, having captured me, it hath served, as a witness; and so my wasting away hath risen up against me, in my face, it answereth.

rotherham@Job:16:9 @ His anger, hath torn and persecuted me, He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth, Mine adversary, hath sharpened his eyes for me.

rotherham@Job:16:10 @ They have gaped upon me with their mouth, With reproach, have they smitten my cheek, Together, against me, have they closed their ranks.

rotherham@Job:16:11 @ GOD doth abandon me to him that is perverse, and, into the hands of the lawless, he throweth me headlong.

rotherham@Job:16:12 @ At ease, was I when he shattered me, Yea he seized me by my neck, and dashed me in pieces, then set me up for himself as a mark:

rotherham@Job:16:13 @ His archers came round against me, He clave asunder my reins, and spared not, He poured out, on the earth, my gall:

rotherham@Job:16:14 @ He made a breach in me, breach upon breach, He ran upon me, like a mighty man.

rotherham@Job:16:15 @ Sackcloth, sewed I on my skin, and rolledin the dustmy horn:

rotherham@Job:16:16 @ My face, is reddened from weeping, and, upon mine eyelashes, is the death-shade:

rotherham@Job:16:17 @ Though no violence was in my hands, and, my prayer, was pure.

rotherham@Job:16:18 @ O earth! do not cover my blood, and let there be no place for mine outcry.

rotherham@Job:16:19 @ Even now, lo! in the heavens, is my witness,

rotherham@Job:16:20 @ And, he that voucheth for me is on high. My friends are, they who scorn me, Unto GOD, hath mine eye shed tears:

rotherham@Job:16:21 @ That one might plead, for a man, with GOD, Even a son of man, for his friend!

rotherham@Job:16:22 @ When, a few years, come, then, by a path by which I shall not return, shall I depart.
