BibleText:
1 Then Job answered and said, 2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters [are] you all. 3 Will vain words have an end? or what emboldens you that you answer? 4 I also could speak as you [do]: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you. 5 [But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should assuage [your grief]. 6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: and [though] I forbear, what am I eased? 7 But now he has made me weary: you have made desolate all my company. 8 And you have filled me with wrinkles, [which] is a witness [against me]: and my leanness rising up in me bears witness to my face. 9 He tears [me] in his wrath, who hates me: he gnashes upon me with his teeth; my enemy sharpens his eyes upon me. 10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. 11 God has delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. 12 I was at ease, but he has broken me apart: he has also taken [me] by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. 13 His archers encircle me round about, he cleaves my reins apart, and does not spare; he pours out my gall upon the ground. 14 He breaks me with breach upon breach, he runs upon me like a giant. 15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. 16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids [is] the shadow of death; 17 Not for [any] injustice in my hands: also my prayer [is] pure. 18 O earth, cover not you my blood, and let my cry have no place. 19 Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my record [is] on high. 20 My friends scorn me: [but] my eye pours out [tears] to God. 21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man [pleads] for his neighbor! 22 When a few years are come, then I will go the way [where] I will not return.
