{Job 16:1} Then Job answered and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:2} I have heard many such things: miserable comforters [are] ye all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:3} Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:4} 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 mine head at you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:5} [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage [your grief. ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:6} Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and [though] I forbear, what am I eased? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:7} But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:8} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:9} He teareth [me] in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:10} They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:11} God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:12} 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:13} His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:14} He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:15} I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:16} My face is foul with weeping, and my eyelids is the shadow of death; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:17} Not for [any] injustice in mine hands: also my prayer [is] pure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:18} O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:19} Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my record [is] on high. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:20} My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out [tears] unto God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:21} Oh that one might plead for a man with God, as a man [pleadeth] for his neighbour! ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 16:22} When a few years are come, then I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return.
