CHAP. XVI. 1 Job reproveth his friends of unmercifulness: 7 He showeth the pitifulness of his case: 17 He maintaineth his innocence.


1   Then Job answered and said,


2   I have heard many such things: note note miserable comforters are ye all.


3   Shall note vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?


4   I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you.


5   But I would strengthen you with my mouth and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief.


6   Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: and though I forbear, note what am I eased?


7   But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.


8   And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.


9   He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; my enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.


10   They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves against me.


11   God note hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.


12   I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.


13   His archers encompass me; he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.


14   He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.


15   I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.


16   My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids are the shades of death;


17   Not for any injustice in my hands: also my prayer is pure.


18   O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.


19   Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is note on high.


20   My friends note scorn me: but my eye poureth out tears to God.


21   O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his note neighbor!


22   When note a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
