Job 16:12-22 - Everything Was Going Well
12 I was some time in wealth, but suddenly hath he brought me to naught. He hath taken me by the neck, he hath rent me, and set me, as it were a mark for him to shoot at. 13 His archers compass me round about; he hath wounded my loins, and not spared. My bowels hath he poured upon the ground. 14 He hath given me one wound upon another, and is fallen upon me like a giant.
15 I have sewed a sackcloth upon my skin, and lie with my strength in the dust. 16 My face is swollen with weeping, and mine eyes are waxen dim. 17 "Howbeit there is no wickedness in my hands, and my prayer is clean.
18 O earth, cover not my blood, and let my crying find no room. 19 For lo, my witness is in heaven, and he that knoweth me, is above in the height. 20 My friends laugh me to scorn, but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. 21 Though a body might plead with God, as one man doth with another, 22 yet the number of my years are come - and I must go the way from whence I shall not turn again.
