ylt @Job:16:1 @And Job answereth and saith : -- ylt @Job:16:2 @I have heard many such things , Miserable comforters [are ] ye all . ylt @Job:16:3 @Is there an end to words of wind ? Or what doth embolden thee that thou answerest ? ylt @Job:16:4 @I also , like you , might speak , If your soul were in my soul 's stead . I might join against you with words , And nod at you with my head . ylt @Job:16:5 @I might harden you with my mouth , And the moving of my lips might be sparing . ylt @Job:16:6 @If I speak , my pain is not restrained , And I cease -- what goeth from me ? ylt @Job:16:7 @Only , now , it hath wearied me ; Thou hast desolated all my company , ylt @Job:16:8 @And Thou dost loathe me , For a witness it hath been , And rise up against me doth my failure , In my face it testifieth . ylt @Job:16:9 @His anger hath torn , and he hateth me , He hath gnashed at me with his teeth , My adversary sharpeneth his eyes for me . ylt @Job:16:10 @They have gaped on me with their mouth , In reproach they have smitten my cheeks , Together against me they set themselves . ylt @Job:16:11 @God shutteth me up unto the perverse , And to the hands of the wicked turneth me over . ylt @Job:16:12 @At ease I have been , and he breaketh me , And he hath laid hold on my neck , And he breaketh me in pieces , And he raiseth me to him for a mark . ylt @Job:16:13 @Go round against me do his archers . He splitteth my reins , and spareth not , He poureth out to the earth my gall . ylt @Job:16:14 @He breaketh me -- breach upon breach , He runneth upon me as a mighty one . ylt @Job:16:15 @Sackcloth I have sewed on my skin , And have rolled in the dust my horn . ylt @Job:16:16 @My face is foul with weeping , And on mine eyelids [is ] death-shade . ylt @Job:16:17 @Not for violence in my hands , And my prayer [is ] pure . ylt @Job:16:18 @O earth , do not thou cover my blood ! And let there not be a place for my cry . ylt @Job:16:19 @Also , now , lo , in the heavens [is ] my witness , And my testifier in the high places . ylt @Job:16:20 @My interpreter [is ] my friend , Unto God hath mine eye dropped : ylt @Job:16:21 @And he reasoneth for a man with God , And a son of man for his friend . ylt @Job:16:22 @When a few years do come , Then a path I return not do I go . ylt @Job:17:1 @My spirit hath been destroyed , My days extinguished -- graves [are ] for me . ylt @Job:17:2 @If not -- mockeries [are ] with me . And in their provocations mine eye lodgeth . ylt @Job:17:3 @Place , I pray Thee , my pledge with Thee ; Who is he that striketh hand with me ? ylt @Job:17:4 @For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding , Therefore Thou dost not exalt them . ylt @Job:17:5 @For a portion he sheweth friendship , And the eyes of his sons are consumed . ylt @Job:17:6 @And he set me up for a proverb of the peoples , And a wonder before them I am . ylt @Job:17:7 @And dim from sorrow is mine eye , And my members as a shadow all of them . ylt @Job:17:8 @Astonished are the upright at this , And the innocent against the profane Stirreth himself up . ylt @Job:17:9 @And the righteous layeth hold [on ] his way , And the clean of hands addeth strength , And -- dumb are they all . ylt @Job:17:10 @Return , and come in , I pray you , And I find not among you a wise man . ylt @Job:17:11 @My days have passed by , My devices have been broken off , The possessions of my heart ! ylt @Job:17:12 @Night for day they appoint , Light [is ] near because of darkness . ylt @Job:17:13 @If I wait -- Sheol [is ] my house , In darkness I have spread out my couch . ylt @Job:17:14 @To corruption I have called : -- 'Thou [art ] my father .' 'My mother ' and 'my sister ' -- to the worm . ylt @Job:17:15 @And where [is ] now my hope ? Yea , my hope , who doth behold it ? ylt @Job:17:16 @[To ] the parts of Sheol ye go down , If together on the dust we may rest . ylt @Job:18:1 @And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith : --
