Job Says God Shattered Him

6"If I speak, my pain is not lessened, And if I hold back, what has left me?H1696H3511H2820H2308H1980 7"But now He has exhausted me; Thou hast laid waste all my company.H3811H8074H5712 8"And Thou hast shriveled me up, It has become a witness; And my leanness rises up against me, It testifies to my face.H7059H5707H3585H6965H6030H6440 9"His anger has torn me and hunted me down, He has gnashed at me with His teeth; My adversary glares at me.H2963H639H7852H2786H8127H6862H3913H5869 10"They have gaped at me with their mouth, They have slapped me on the cheek with contempt; They have massed themselves against me.H6473H6310H5221H3895H2781H4390H3162 11"God hands me over to ruffians, And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.H410H5462H5760H3399H3027H7563 12"I was at ease, but He shattered me, And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His target.H7961H6565H270H6203H6327H6965H4307 13"His arrows surround me. Without mercy He splits my kidneys open; He pours out my gall on the ground.H7228H5437H6398H3629H6398H2550H8210H4845H776 14"He breaks through me with breach after breach; He runs at me like a warrior.H6555H6556H6440H6556H7323H1368 15"I have sewed sackcloth over my skin, And thrust my horn in the dust.H8609H8242H1539H5953H7161H6083 16"My face is flushed from weeping, And deep darkness is on my eyelids,H6440H2560H1065H6079H6757 17Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.H2555H3709H8605H2134 18"O earth, do not cover my blood, And let there be no [resting] place for my cry.H776H3680H1818H2201H4725 19"Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And my advocate is on high.H5707H8064H7717H4791 20"My friends are my scoffers; My eye weeps to God.H7453H3887H5869H1811H433 21"O that a man might plead with God As a man with his neighbor!H3198H1397H433H120H1121H7453 22"For when a few years are past, I shall go the way of no return.H4557H8141H857H1980H734H7725
