Job 16

1

Then Job answered,

2

You are all miserable comforters!

3

Or what provokes you that you answer?

4

and shake my head at you,

5

The solace of my lips would relieve you.

6

Though I forbear, what am I eased?

7

You have made all my company desolate.

8

It testifies to my face.

9

My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.

10

They gather themselves together against me.

11

and casts me into the hands of the wicked.

12

He has also set me up for his target.

13

He pours out my bile on the ground.

14

He runs at me like a giant.

15

and have thrust my horn in the dust.

16

Deep darkness is on my eyelids.

17

and my prayer is pure.

18

Let my cry have no place to rest.

19

He who vouches for me is on high.

20

My eyes pour out tears to God,

21

of a son of man with his neighbor!

22

I will go the way of no return.
