Job 16:9-17 - Job Describes What God Has Done To Him

⁹ His anger, hath torn and persecuted me, He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth, Mine adversary, hath sharpened his eyes for me. ¹⁰ They have gaped upon me with their mouth, With reproach, have they smitten my cheek, Together, against me, have they closed their ranks. ¹¹ GOD doth abandon me to him that is perverse, and, into the hands of the lawless, he throweth me headlong. 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.
