Job 16

1 Then Job answered and said, KJVSD — Job 16:1

2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters [are] ye all.KJVSD — Job 16:2

3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? KJVSD — Job 16:3

4 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. KJVSD — Job 16:4

5 [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage [your grief].KJVSD — Job 16:5

6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and [though] I forbear, what am I eased? KJVSD — Job 16:6

7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. KJVSD — Job 16:7

8 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. KJVSD — Job 16:8

9 He teareth [me] in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.KJVSD — Job 16:9

10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.KJVSD — Job 16:10

11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. KJVSD — Job 16:11

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. KJVSD — Job 16:12

13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. KJVSD — Job 16:13

14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. KJVSD — Job 16:14

15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. KJVSD — Job 16:15

16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids [is] the shadow of death; KJVSD — Job 16:16

17 Not for [any] injustice in mine hands: also my prayer [is] pure. KJVSD — Job 16:17

18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. KJVSD — Job 16:18

19 Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my record [is] on high. KJVSD — Job 16:19

20 My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out [tears] unto God. KJVSD — Job 16:20

21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man [pleadeth] for his neighbour! KJVSD — Job 16:21

22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return. KJVSD — Job 16:22
