JOB-16:1 Then Job answered and said,



JOB-16:2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters 
[are] ye all.



JOB-16:3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee 
that thou answerest?



JOB-16:4 I also could speak as ye [do]: if your soul were in my 
soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine 
head at you.



JOB-16:5 [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the 
moving of my lips should asswage [your grief].



JOB-16:6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and [though] 
I forbear, what am I eased?



JOB-16:7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate 
all my company.



JOB-16:8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, [which] is a 
witness [against me]: and my leanness rising up in me beareth 
witness to my face.



JOB-16:9 He teareth [me] in his wrath, who hateth me: he 
gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes 
upon me.



JOB-16:10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have 
smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered 
themselves together against me.



JOB-16:11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me 
over into the hands of the wicked.



JOB-16:12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath 
also taken [me] by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me 
up for his mark.



JOB-16:13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my 
reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon 
the ground.



JOB-16:14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth 
upon me like a giant.



JOB-16:15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my 
horn in the dust.



JOB-16:16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids [is] 
the shadow of death;



JOB-16:17 Not for [any] injustice in mine hands: also my prayer 
[is] pure.



JOB-16:18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have 
no place.



JOB-16:19 Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my 
record [is] on high.



JOB-16:20 My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out 
[tears] unto God.



JOB-16:21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man 
[pleadeth] for his neighbour!



JOB-16:22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way 
[whence] I shall not return.
