Job 16:7-17

Job 16:7-17 CSB

Surely he  has now exhausted me. You have devastated my entire family. You have shriveled me up   — it has become a witness; my frailty rises up against me and testifies to my face. His anger tears at me, and he harasses   me. He gnashes his teeth at me. My enemy pierces me with his eyes. They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt;  they join themselves together against me. God hands me over to the unjust;  he throws me to the wicked. I was at ease, but he shattered me; he seized me by the scruff of the neck and smashed me to pieces. He set me up as his target;  his archers  surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and pours my bile on the ground. He breaks through my defenses again and again;  he charges at me like a warrior.  I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my strength  in the dust.  My face has grown red with weeping, and darkness  covers my eyes, although my hands are free from violence  and my prayer is pure.
