CHAP. XVI.
1 Iob reproueth his friends of vnmercifulnesse.
7 He sheweth the pitifulnesse of his case. 17
He maintaineth his innocencie.
1
Then Iob answered, and
said,
2
I haue heard many
such things: note note miserable
comforters are ye all.
3
Shall note vaine words haue an ende?
or what emboldeneth thee, that thou
answerest?
4
I also could speake as yee doe: if
your soule were in my soules stead, I
could heape vp words against you, and
shake mine head at you.
5
But I would strengthen you with
my mouth, and the mouing of my lips
-- --
Iob reckoneth vp his many afflictions.
should asswage your griefe.
6
Though I speake, my griefe is
not asswaged: and though I forbeare;
note what am I eased?
7
But now he hath made me weary:
thou hast made desolate al my companie.
8
And thou hast filled mee with
wrinckles, which is a witnesse against me:
and my leannesse rising vp in me, beareth
witnesse to my face.
9
He teareth me in his wrath, who
hateth me: he gnasheth vpon me with
his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his
eyes vpon me.
10
They haue gaped vpon me with
their mouth, they haue smitten me vpon
the cheeke reprochfully, they haue
gathered themselues together against
mee.
11
God note hath deliuered me to the vngodly,
and turned me ouer into the
hands of the wicked.
12
I was at ease, but he hath broken
me asunder: he hath also taken me by
my necke, and shaken me to pieces, and
set me vp for his marke.
13
His archers compasse me round
about, he cleaueth my reines asunder,
and doeth not spare; he powreth out
my gall vpon the ground.
14
He breaketh me with breach vpon
breach, he runneth vpon me like a giant.
15
I haue sowed sackcloth vpon my
skin, and defiled my horne in the dust.
16
My face is fowle with weeping,
and on mine eye-lids is the shadow of
death;
17
Not for any iniustice in mine
hands: also my prayer is pure.
18
O earth couer not thou my blood,
and let my cry haue no place.
19
Also now, behold my witnesse is
in heauen, and my record is note on high.
20
My friends note scorne me: but mine
eye powreth out teares vnto God.
21
O that one might plead for a man
with God, as a man pleadeth for his
note neighbour.
22
When note a few yeeres are come,
then I shall goe the way whence I shall
not returne.
