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

⁹ His wrath has torn, and he has been hostile toward me; he gnashed at me with his teeth. My foe sharpens his eyes against me. ¹⁰ They gaped at me with their mouth; they struck my cheeks with disgrace; they have massed themselves together against me. ¹¹ God delivers me to an evil one, and he casts me into the hands of [the] wicked. ¹² "I was at ease, then he broke me in two, and he seized [me] by my neck; then he shattered me and set me up as a target for him. ¹³ His archers surround me; he slashes open my kidneys, and he does not have compassion; he pours out my gall on the ground. ¹⁴ He breached me {breach upon breach}; he rushes at me like a warrior.

¹⁵ "I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and I have inserted {my pride} in the dust. ¹⁶ My face is red because of weeping, and deep shadows [are] on my eyelids, ¹⁷ {although} violence [is] not on my hands, and my prayer [is] pure.
