Job 16:12-22 - Everything Was Going Well
12 At ease, was I when he shattered me, Yea he seized me by my neck, and dashed me in pieces, then set me up for himself as a mark: 13 His archers came round against me, He clave asunder my reins, and spared not, He poured out, on the earth, my gall: 14 He made a breach in me, breach upon breach, He ran upon me, like a mighty man.
15 Sackcloth, sewed I on my skin, and rolled - in the dust - my horn: 16 My face, is reddened from weeping, and, upon mine eyelashes, is the death-shade: - 17 Though no violence was in my hands, and, my prayer, was pure.
18 O earth! do not cover my blood, and let there be no place for mine outcry. 19 Even now, lo! in the heavens, is my witness, 20 And, he that voucheth for me is on high. My friends are, they who scorn me, Unto GOD, hath mine eye shed tears: - 21 That one might plead, for a man, with GOD, - Even a son of man, for his friend! 22 When, a few years, come, then, by a path by which I shall not return, shall I depart.
