Job 16:6-16

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Job 16:6-16

6Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved,
and if I hold back, how will it go away?
7Surely He has now exhausted me;
You have devastated all my family.
8You have bound me, and it has become a witness;
my frailty rises up and testifies against me.
9His anger has torn me and opposed me;
He gnashes His teeth at me.
My adversary pierces me with His eyes.
10They open their mouths against me
and strike my cheeks with contempt;
they join together against me.
11God has delivered me to unjust men;
He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.
12I was at ease, but He shattered me;
He seized me by the neck and crushed me.
He has set me up as His target;
13His archers surround me.
He pierces my kidneys without mercy
and spills my gall on the ground.
14He breaks me with wound upon wound;
He rushes me like a mighty warrior.
15I have sewn sackcloth over my skin;
I have buried my horn in the dust.
16My face is red with weeping,
and deep shadows ring my eyes;
