Job 16:12-22 - Everything Was Going Well
12 I was at ease, but He has broken me in pieces; yea, He has also taken me by my neck and shaken me to pieces and set me up for His mark. 13 His archers hem me in; He splits my inward parts, and does not spare; He pours out my gall on the ground. 14 He breaks me with break on break; He runs on me like a giant.
15 I have sewed sackcloth on my skin and thrust my horn in the dust. 16 My face is reddened from weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; 17 though no violence is in my hand, and my prayer is pure.
18 Oh earth, do not cover my blood, and let not my cry have a place. 19 Also now, behold, my Witness is in Heaven, and He who testifies of me is on high. 20 My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God. 21 Oh that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleads for his neighbor! 22 For the years that are few will come, and I shall go the way from where I shall not return.
