16:1 Iyyov’s second response to Elifaz
16 Then Iyyov answered Elifaz:
2 I’ve heard many things like that before.
You come to comfort, but bring trouble instead.
3 You need to limit your words full of wind.
What makes you keep responding?
4 I could also speak like you all if you were in my place.
I could string words together against you all and shake my head at you.
5 Alternatively, I could use my mouth to encourage you all.
My lips could be used instead to bring relief.
6 Even when I speak, it doesn’t take away my pain.
But if I hold back, how will it go away?
7 However, he’s now worn me out.
My entire household has been devastated.
8 You’ve made me lose so much weight that everyone can’t help notice it.
≈My being so thin is used against me so people think from my face that I must be guilty.
9 His anger has ripped my body open
≈and in his hate he’s gnashed at me with his teeth.
Even my enemy locks his eyes on me.
10 People stare at me with their mouths wide open.
They slap my cheek in contempt as they join together against me.
11 God has handed me over to a YOUNG BOY
and he throws me into the hands of wicked people.
12 I was just living my life and he shattered me.
≈He grabbed me by the neck and dashed me to pieces.
He set me up as a his target.
13 ≈Soldiers with bows and arrows surround me.
He pierces my kidneys but doesn’t care.
≈He splits my gallbladder and pours my bile out on the ground.
14 He keeps breaking through my protective walls.
≈He charges against me like a warrior.
15 I’ve dressed in sackcloth to show I’m mourning.
≈I’ve tossed my horn into the dust to show I’m defeated.
16 My face is red from so much crying.
My eyelids are surrounded by dark shadows.
17 I haven’t committed any violence.
My prayer is pure.
18 Earth, don’t just cover over my blood.
Don’t just become a hiding place for my cries.
19 Even now, my witness is there in the heavens,[ref]
≈and my advocate is up on high.
The tears of my eyes are directed to God.
21 May someone plead with God for a man,
and a son of humanity plead for his friend.
