[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42]

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.
