Job’s Reply to Eliphaz

16Then Job answered:H347H6030H559
2I have heard many things like these. You are all miserable comforters.H8085H7227H5999H5162
3Is there [no] end to your empty words? What provokes you that you continue testifying?H7307H1697H7093H4834H6030
4If you were in my place I could also talk like you. I could string words together against you and shake my head at you, [but I wouldn't].H1696H3863H5315H3426H5315H2266H4405H5128H7218H1119
5I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation from my lips would bring relief.H553H1119H6310H5205H8193H2820
6Even if I speak, my suffering is not relieved, and if I hold back, what have I lost?H1696H3511H2820H2308H1980
7Surely He has now exhausted me. You have devastated my entire family.H3811H8074H5712
8You have shriveled me up— it has become a witness; My frailty rises up against me and testifies to my face.H7059H5707H3585H6965H6030H6440
9His anger tears [at me], and He harasses me. He gnashes His teeth at me. My enemy pierces me with His eyes.H2963H639H7852H2786H8127H6862H3913H5869
10They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join themselves together against me.H6473H6310H5221H3895H2781H4390H3162
11God hands me over to unjust men; He throws me into the hands of the wicked.H410H5462H5760H3399H3027H7563
12I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized [me] by the scruff of the neck and smashed me to pieces. He set me up as His target;H7961H6565H270H6203H6327H6965H4307
13His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and pours my bile on the ground.H7228H5437H6398H3629H6398H2550H8210H4845H776
14He breaks through my defenses again and again; He charges at me like a warrior.H6555H6556H6440H6556H7323H1368
15I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my strength in the dust.H8609H8242H1539H5953H7161H6083
16My face has grown red with weeping, and the shadow of death covers my eyes,H6440H2560H1065H6079H6757
17although my hands are free from violence and my prayer is pure.H2555H3709H8605H2134
18Earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help find no resting place.H776H3680H1818H2201H4725
19Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is in the heights!H5707H8064H7717H4791
20My friends scoff at me as I weep before God.H7453H3887H5869H1811H433
21I wish that someone might arbitrate between a man and God just as a man [pleads] for his friend.H3198H1397H433H120H1121H7453
22For [only] a few years will pass before I go the way of no return.H4557H8141H857H1980H734H7725
