Job 16:12-22 - Everything Was Going Well
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yea, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his mark. 13 His archers encompass me round about. He splits my reins apart, and does not spare. He pours out my gall upon the ground. 14 He breaks me with breach upon breach. He runs upon me like a giant.
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my horn in the dust. 16 My face is red with weeping, and the shadow of death is on my eyelids, 17 although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18 O earth, do not cover thou my blood, and let my cry have no [resting] place. 19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he who vouches for me is on high. 20 My friends scoff at me. My eye pours out tears to God 21 that he would maintain the right of a man with God, and of a son of man with his neighbor! 22 For when a few years are come, I shall go the way where I shall not return.
