Job 16:6 Though I speak,1696 my grief3511 is not asswaged:2820 and though I forbear,2308 what am I eased?1980 cr 7 But now he hath made me weary:3811 thou hast made desolate8074 all my company.5712 cr 8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles,7059 which is a witness5707 against me: and my leanness3585 rising up6965 in me beareth witness6030 to my face.6440 cr 9 He teareth2963 me in his wrath,639 who hateth7852 me: he gnasheth2786 upon me with his teeth;8127 mine enemy6862 sharpeneth3913 his eyes5869 upon me. cr 10 They have gaped6473 upon me with their mouth;6310 they have smitten5221 me upon the cheek3895 reproachfully;2781 they have gathered4390 themselves together3162 against me. cr 11 God410 hath delivered5462 me{Heb. hath shut me up} to the ungodly,5760 and turned me over3399 into the hands3027 of the wicked.7563 cr 12 I was at ease,7961 but he hath broken me asunder:6565 he hath also taken270 me by my neck,6203 and shaken me to pieces,6327 and set me up6965 for his mark.4307 cr 13 His archers7228 compass me round about,5437 he cleaveth6398 2794 my reins3629 asunder,6398 and doth not spare;2550 he poureth out8210 my gall4845 upon the ground.776 cr 14 He breaketh6555 me with breach6556 upon6440 breach,6556 he runneth7323 upon me like a giant.1368 cr 15 I have sewed8609 sackcloth8242 upon my skin,1539 and defiled5953 my horn7161 in the dust.6083 cr 16 My face6440 is foul2560 with weeping,1065 and on my eyelids6079 is the shadow of death;6757 cr 17 Not for any injustice2555 in mine hands:3709 also my prayer8605 is pure.2134 cr
