1 Then Job answered and said, WBS — Job 16:1
2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. WBS — Job 16:2
3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? WBS — Job 16:3
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. WBS — Job 16:4
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief. WBS — Job 16:5
6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased? WBS — Job 16:6
7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. WBS — Job 16:7
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. WBS — Job 16:8
9 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; my enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. WBS — Job 16:9
10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves against me. WBS — Job 16:10
11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. WBS — Job 16:11
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. WBS — Job 16:12
13 His archers encompass me; he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. WBS — Job 16:13
14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. WBS — Job 16:14
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. WBS — Job 16:15
16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids are the shades of death; WBS — Job 16:16
17 Not for any injustice in my hands: also my prayer is pure. WBS — Job 16:17
18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. WBS — Job 16:18
19 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high. WBS — Job 16:19
20 My friends scorn me: but my eye poureth out tears to God. WBS — Job 16:20
21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbor! WBS — Job 16:21
22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return. WBS — Job 16:22
