Then Job answered ,
web @
Job:16:2 @"
I have heard many such things .
You are all miserable comforters !
web @
Job:16:3 @
Shall vain words have an end ?
Or what provokes you that you answer ?
web @
Job:16:4 @
I also could speak as you do .
If your soul were in my soul '
s place ,
I could join words together against you ,
and shake my head at you ,
web @
Job:16:5 @
but I would strengthen you with my mouth .
The solace of my lips would relieve you .
web @
Job:16:6 @"
Though I speak ,
my grief is not subsided .
Though I forbear ,
what am I eased ?
web @
Job:16:7 @
But now ,
God ,
you have surely worn me out .
You have made desolate all my company .
web @
Job:16:8 @
You have shriveled me up .
This is a witness against me .
My leanness rises up against me .
It testifies to my face .
web @
Job:16:9 @
He has torn me in his wrath ,
and persecuted me .
He has gnashed on me with his teeth .
My adversary sharpens his eyes on me .
web @
Job:16:10 @
They have gaped on me with their mouth .
They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully .
They gather themselves together against me .
web @
Job:16:11 @
God delivers me to the ungodly ,
and casts me into the hands of the wicked .
web @
Job:16:12 @
I was at ease ,
and he broke me apart .
Yes ,
he has taken me by the neck ,
and dashed me to pieces .
He has also set me up for his target .
web @
Job:16:13 @
His archers surround me .
He splits my kidneys apart ,
and does not spare .
He pours out my gall on the ground .
web @
Job:16:14 @
He breaks me with breach on breach .
He runs on me like a giant .
web @
Job:16:15 @
I have sewed sackcloth on my skin ,
and have thrust my horn in the dust .
web @
Job:16:16 @
My face is red with weeping .
Deep darkness is on my eyelids .
web @
Job:16:17 @
Although there is no violence in my hands ,
and my prayer is pure .
web @
Job:16:18 @"
Earth ,
don '
t cover my blood .
Let my cry have no place to rest .
web @
Job:16:19 @
Even now ,
behold ,
my witness is in heaven .
He who vouches for me is on high .
web @
Job:16:20 @
My friends scoff at me .
My eyes pour out tears to God ,
web @
Job:16:21 @
that he would maintain the right of a man with God ,
of a son of man with his neighbor !
web @
Job:16:22 @
For when a few years have come ,
I shall go the way of no return .
web @
Job:17:1 @"
My spirit is consumed .
My days are extinct ,
And the grave is ready for me .
web @
Job:17:2 @
Surely there are mockers with me .
My eye dwells on their provocation .
web @
Job:17:3 @"
Now give a pledge ,
be collateral for me with yourself .
Who is there who will strike hands with me ?
web @
Job:17:4 @
For you have hidden their heart from understanding ,
Therefore you shall not exalt them .
web @
Job:17:5 @
He who denounces his friends for a prey ,
Even the eyes of his children shall fail .
web @
Job:17:6 @"
But he has made me a byword of the people .
They spit in my face .
web @
Job:17:7 @
My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow .
All my members are as a shadow .
web @
Job:17:8 @
Upright men shall be astonished at this .
The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless .
web @
Job:17:9 @
Yet shall the righteous hold on his way .
He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger .
web @
Job:17:10 @
But as for you all ,
come on now again ;
I shall not find a wise man among you .
web @
Job:17:11 @
My days are past ,
my plans are broken off ,
as are the thoughts of my heart .
web @
Job:17:12 @
They change the night into day ,
saying '
The light is near '
in the presence of darkness .
web @
Job:17:13 @
If I look for Sheol {
Sheol is the place of the dead .}
as my house ,
if I have spread my couch in the darkness ,
web @
Job:17:14 @
If I have said to corruption , '
You are my father ;'
to the worm , '
My mother ,'
and '
my sister ;'
web @
Job:17:15 @
where then is my hope ?
as for my hope ,
who shall see it ?
web @
Job:17:16 @
Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol {
Sheol is the place of the dead .},
or descend together into the dust ?"
