Job:16-17

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.

rotherham@Job:17:1 @ My spirit, is broken, My days, are extinguished, Graves, are left me.

rotherham@Job:17:2 @ Verily there are mockers, with me! And, on their insults, mine eye doth rest.

rotherham@Job:17:3 @ Appoint it, I pray theebe thou surety for me with thyself, Who is there that, on my side, can pledge himself?

rotherham@Job:17:4 @ For, their heart, hast thou kept back from understanding, On this account, thou wilt not exalt them.

rotherham@Job:17:5 @ He that, for a share, denounceth friends, even, the eyes of his children, shall be dim.

rotherham@Job:17:6 @ But he hath set me, as the byword of peoples, And, one to be spit on in the face, do I become.

rotherham@Job:17:7 @ Therefore hath mine eye become dim from vexation, and, my members, are like a shadow, all of them.

rotherham@Job:17:8 @ Upright men shall be astounded over this, and, the innocent, against the impious, shall rouse themselves.

rotherham@Job:17:9 @ That the righteous may hold on his way, and, the clean of hands, increase in strength.

rotherham@Job:17:10 @ But indeed, as for them all, will ye bethink yourselves and enter into it, I pray you? Or shall I not find, among you, one who is wise?

rotherham@Job:17:11 @ My days, are past, my purposes, are broken off, the possessions of my heart!

rotherham@Job:17:12 @ Night for day, they appoint, Light, is near, by reason of darkness!

rotherham@Job:17:13 @ If I wait for hades as my house, in darkness, have spread out my couch;

rotherham@Job:17:14 @ To corruption, have exclaimed, My father, thou! My mother! and My sister! to the worm.

rotherham@Job:17:15 @ Where then would be my hope? And, as for my blessedness, who should see it!

rotherham@Job:17:16 @ With me to hades, would they go down, If, whollyinto the dust, is the descent!
