dby - Job:16-17

dby@Job:16:1 @ And Job answered and said,

dby@Job:16:2 @ I have heard many such things: grievous comforters are ye all.

dby@Job:16:3 @ Shall words of wind have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

dby@Job:16:4 @ I also could speak as ye: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join together words against you, and shake my head at you;

dby@Job:16:5 @ [But] I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage [your pain].

dby@Job:16:6 @ If I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and if I forbear, what am I eased?

dby@Job:16:7 @ But now he hath made me weary;... thou hast made desolate all my family;

dby@Job:16:8 @ Thou hast shrivelled me up! it is become a witness; and my leanness riseth up against me, it beareth witness to my face.

dby@Job:16:9 @ His anger teareth and pursueth me; he gnasheth with his teeth against me; [as] mine adversary he sharpeneth his eyes at me.

dby@Job:16:10 @ They gape upon me with their mouth; they smite my cheeks reproachfully; they range themselves together against me.

dby@Job:16:11 @ �God hath delivered me over to the iniquitous man, and hurled me into the hands of the wicked.

dby@Job:16:12 @ I was at rest, but he hath shattered me; he hath taken me by the neck and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.

dby@Job:16:13 @ His arrows encompass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

dby@Job:16:14 @ He breaketh me with breach upon breach; he runneth upon me like a mighty man.

dby@Job:16:15 @ I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and rolled my horn in the dust.

dby@Job:16:16 @ My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

dby@Job:16:17 @ Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.

dby@Job:16:18 @ O earth, cover not my blood, and let there be no place for my cry!

dby@Job:16:19 @ Even now, behold, my Witness is in the heavens, and he that voucheth for me is in the heights.

dby@Job:16:20 @ My friends are my mockers; mine eye poureth out tears unto +God.

dby@Job:16:21 @ Oh that there were arbitration for a man with +God, as a son of man for his friend!

dby@Job:16:22 @ For years [few] in number shall pass, -- and I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return.

dby@Job:17:1 @ My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are mine.

dby@Job:17:2 @ Are there not mockers around me? and doth [not] mine eye abide in their provocation?

dby@Job:17:3 @ Lay down now [a pledge], be thou surety for me with thyself: who is he that striketh hands with me?

dby@Job:17:4 @ For thou hast hidden their heart from understanding; therefore thou wilt not exalt [them].

dby@Job:17:5 @ He that betrayeth friends for a prey -- even the eyes of his children shall fail.

dby@Job:17:6 @ And he hath made me a proverb of the peoples; and I am become one to be spit on in the face.

dby@Job:17:7 @ And mine eye is dim by reason of grief, and all my members are as a shadow.

dby@Job:17:8 @ Upright men [shall be] astonished at this, and the innocent shall be stirred up against the ungodly;

dby@Job:17:9 @ But the righteous shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall increase in strength.

dby@Job:17:10 @ But as for you all, pray come on again; and I shall not find one wise man among you.

dby@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, my purposes are broken off, the cherished thoughts of my heart.

dby@Job:17:12 @ They change the night into day; the light [they imagine] near in presence of the darkness.

dby@Job:17:13 @ If I wait, Sheol is my house; I spread my bed in the darkness:

dby@Job:17:14 @ I cry to the grave, Thou art my father! to the worm, My mother, and my sister!

dby@Job:17:15 @ And where is then my hope? yea, my hope, who shall see it?

dby@Job:17:16 @ It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, when [our] rest shall be together in the dust.
