Job

16Then Job replied:H347H6030H559 2"I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all!H8085H7227H5999H5162 3Will your long-winded speeches never end? What ails you that you keep on arguing?H7307H1697H7093H4834H6030 4I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could make fine speeches against you and shake my head at you.H1696H3863H5315H3426H5315H2266H4405H5128H7218H1119 5But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.H553H1119H6310H5205H8193H2820 6"Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I refrain, it does not go away.H1696H3511H2820H2308H1980 7Surely, O God, you have worn me out; you have devastated my entire household.H3811H8074H5712 8You have bound me—and it has become a witness; my gauntness rises up and testifies against me.H7059H5707H3585H6965H6030H6440 9God assails me and tears me in his anger and gnashes his teeth at me; my opponent fastens on me his piercing eyes.H2963H639H7852H2786H8127H6862H3913H5869 10Men open their mouths to jeer at me; they strike my cheek in scorn and unite together against me.H6473H6310H5221H3895H2781H4390H3162 11God has turned me over to evil men and thrown me into the clutches of the wicked.H410H5462H5760H3399H3027H7563 12All was well with me, but he shattered me; he seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has made me his target;H7961H6565H270H6203H6327H6965H4307 13his archers surround me. Without pity, he pierces my kidneys and spills my gall on the ground.H7228H5437H6398H3629H6398H2550H8210H4845H776 14Again and again he bursts upon me; he rushes at me like a warrior.H6555H6556H6440H6556H7323H1368 15"I have sewed sackcloth over my skin and buried my brow in the dust.H8609H8242H1539H5953H7161H6083 16My face is red with weeping, deep shadows ring my eyes;H6440H2560H1065H6079H6757 17yet my hands have been free of violence and my prayer is pure.H2555H3709H8605H2134 18"O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry never be laid to rest!H776H3680H1818H2201H4725 19Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.H5707H8064H7717H4791 20My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;H7453H3887H5869H1811H433 21on behalf of a man he pleads with God as a man pleads for his friend.H3198H1397H433H120H1121H7453 22"Only a few years will pass before I go on the journey of no return.H4557H8141H857H1980H734H7725
