Job 16
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Bvt Iob answered, and said,
2 I have heard like these [things] many [are] comforters of trouble all of you.
I haue oft times heard such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
3 ¿ [does] an end [belong] to Words of wind or what? is it making sick you that you will answer.
Shall there be none ende of wordes of winde? or what maketh thee bold so to answere?
4 Also - I like you I will speak if there [were] self your in place of self my I will make join on you words and I will shake on you with head my.
I could also speake as yee doe: (but woulde God your soule were in my soules stead) I could keepe you company in speaking, and could shake mine head at you,
5 I will strengthen you with mouth my and [the] condolence of lips my it will restrain.
But I woulde strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips should asswage your sorowe.
6 If I will speak not it will be restrained pain my and I will cease what? from me will it go.
Though I speake, my sorow can not be asswaged: though I cease, what release haue I?
7 Nevertheless now he has made weary me you have devastated all company my.
But now hee maketh mee wearie: O God, thou hast made all my congregation desolate,
8 And you have seized me a witness it has become and it has risen up on me leanness my in face my it testifies.
And hast made me full of wrinkles which is a witnesse thereof, and my leannes ryseth vp in me, testifying the same in my face.
9 Anger his it has torn [me] - and it has assailed me he has gnashed towards me with teeth his opponent my - he sharpens eyes his to me.
His wrath hath torne me, and hee hateth me, and gnasheth vpon mee with his teeth: mine enemie hath sharpened his eyes against me.
10 People have opened wide on me - mouth their in scorn they have struck cheeks my together on me they mass themselves!
They haue opened their mouthes vpon me, and smitten me on the cheeke in reproch; they gather themselues together against me.
11 He delivers up me God to an unjust one and on [the] hands of wicked [people] he casts me.
God hath deliuered me to the vniust, and hath made mee to turne out of the way by the hands of the wicked.
12 At ease I was - and he smashed me and he took hold on neck my and he shattered me and he set up me of him to a target.
I was in welth, but he hath brought me to nought: he hath taken me by the necke, and beaten me, and set me as a marke for himselfe.
13 They surround me - archers his he splits open kidneys my and not he has compassion he pours out to the ground gall my.
His archers compasse mee rounde about: he cutteth my reines, and doth not spare, and powreth my gall vpon the ground.
14 He breaks through me a breach on [the] face of a breach he runs on me like a warrior.
He hath broken me with one breaking vpon another, and runneth vpon me like a gyant.
15 Sackcloth I have sewed over skin my and I have inserted in the dust horn my.
I haue sowed a sackcloth vpon my skinne, and haue abased mine horne vnto the dust.
16 Face my (they are reddened *Q(K)*) from weeping and [is] on eyelids my deep darkness.
My face is withered with weeping, and the shadow of death is vpon mine eyes,
17 On not violence [is] in hands my and prayer my [is] pure.
Though there be no wickednesse in mine hands, and my prayer be pure.
18 O earth may not you cover blood my and may not it belong a place to outcry my.
O earth, couer not thou my blood, and let my crying finde no place.
19 Also now there! [is] in the heavens witness my and witness my [is] in high places.
For lo, now my witnesse is in the heauen, and my record is on hie.
20 [are] scoffing at Me companions my to God it has wept eye my.
My friends speake eloquently against me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.
21 And he may argue for a man with God and a child of humankind for companion his.
Oh that a man might pleade with God, as man with his neighbour!
22 For years of number they will come and a way [which] not I will return I will go.
For the yeeres accounted come, and I shall go the way, whence I shall not returne.
