Job:16




jub@Job:16:1 @ Then Job answered and said,

jub@Job:16:2 @ Many times I have heard such things; miserable comforters [are] ye all.

jub@Job:16:3 @ Shall vain words have an end? Or what is it that emboldens thee to answer?

jub@Job:16:4 @ I also could speak as ye [do]. I wish your soul were in my soul's stead, that I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you.

jub@Job:16:5 @ [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would assuage [the pain].

jub@Job:16:6 @ Though if I speak, my pain does not cease; and if I forbear [to speak], it does not depart from me.

jub@Job:16:7 @ But now he has made me weary; thou hast made desolate all my company.

jub@Job:16:8 @ And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, [which] is a witness [against me]: and my leanness rising up in me bears witness to my face.

jub@Job:16:9 @ His wrath has torn me and has been against me; he gnashed upon me with his teeth; my enemy sharpened his eyes upon me.

jub@Job:16:10 @ They have opened their mouth against me; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.

jub@Job:16:11 @ God has delivered me unto the liar, and in the hands of the wicked he has caused me to tremble.

jub@Job:16:12 @ I was prosperous, but he has broken me asunder; he has taken [me] by my neck and shaken me to pieces and set me up for his mark.

jub@Job:16:13 @ His archers compassed me round about; he cleaved my kidneys asunder and did not spare; he poured out my gall upon the ground.

jub@Job:16:14 @ He broke me with breach upon breach; he ran upon me like a giant.

jub@Job:16:15 @ I have sewn sackcloth upon my skin and put dust over my head.

jub@Job:16:16 @ My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids [is] the shadow of death,

jub@Job:16:17 @ even though there is no injustice in my hands, and my prayer [has been] pure.

jub@Job:16:18 @ O earth, do not cover my blood; and let there be no place [where] my cry [is hidden].

jub@Job:16:19 @ Certainly my witness [is] even now in the heavens, and my record [is] on high.

jub@Job:16:20 @ Those who dispute with me are my friends, [but] my eyes shall pour out [tears] unto God.

jub@Job:16:21 @ O that a man might dispute with God, as he can with his neighbour!

jub@Job:16:22 @ When the counted years are come, then I shall go the way from which I shall not return.:
