18_JOB_16_01 Then Job answered And said ,
18_JOB_16_02 I have heard Many such things : miserable comforters [ are ] ye all .
18_JOB_16_03 shall vain words have an end ? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest ?
18_JOB_16_04 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 .
18_JOB_16_05 [ but ] I would strengthen you with my mouth , And the moving of my lips should asswage [ your grief ] .
18_JOB_16_06 though I speak , my grief Is not asswaged : And [ though ] I forbear , what am I eased ?
18_JOB_16_07 but now he hath made me weary : thou hast made desolate all my company .
18_JOB_16_08 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 .
18_JOB_16_09 he teareth [ me ] in his wrath , who hateth me : he gnasheth upon me with his teeth ; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me .
18_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 .
18_JOB_16_11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly , And turned me over into the hands of the wicked .
18_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 .
18_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 .
18_JOB_16_14 he breaketh me with Breach upon Breach , he runneth upon me like A giant .
18_JOB_16_15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin , And defiled my horn in the dust .
18_JOB_16_16 my face Is foul with weeping , And on my eyelids [ Is ] the shadow of death ;
18_JOB_16_17 not for [ any ] injustice in mine hands : also my prayer [ Is ] pure .
18_JOB_16_18 O earth , cover not thou my blood , And let my cry have no place .
18_JOB_16_19 also now , behold , my witness [ Is ] in heaven , And my record [ Is ] on high .
18_JOB_16_20 my friends scorn me : [ but ] mine eye poureth out [ tears ] unto God .
18_JOB_16_21 O that one might plead for A man with God , as A man [ pleadeth ] for his neighbour !
18_JOB_16_22 when A few years are come , Then I shall go the way [ whence ] I shall not Return .
