rsv Job:16:7-17 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Surely now God has worn me out ;
he has made desolate all my company .
*
And he has shriveled me up ,
which is a witness against me ;
and my leanness has risen up against me ,
it testifies to my face .
*
He has torn me in his wrath ,
and hated me ;
he has gnashed his teeth at me ;
my adversary sharpens his eyes against me .
*
Men have gaped at me with their mouth ,
they have struck me insolently upon the cheek ,
they mass themselves together against me .
*
God gives me up to the ungodly ,
and casts me into the hands of the wicked .
*
I was at ease ,
and he broke me asunder ;
he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces ;
he set me up as his target ,
*
his archers surround me .
He slashes open my kidneys ,
and does not spare ;
he pours out my gall on the ground .
*
He breaks me with breach upon breach ;
he runs upon me like a warrior .
*
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin ,
and have laid my strength in the dust .
*
My face is red with weeping ,
and on my eyelids is deep darkness ;
*
although there is no violence in my hands ,
and my prayer is pure .
