ULT JOB Chapter 16

◄ JOB 16 ► ║ ═ ©

16 And Job answered and said,

2 “I have heard many such things;

all of you are comforters of trouble.

3 Is there an end to words of wind?

Or what compels you that you answer?

4 I also would speak like you

if your souls were where my soul is.

I would join words together against you

and I would shake my head at you. 5 I would strengthen you with my mouth,

and the moving of my lips would relieve you.

6 If I speak, my pain is not relieved,

but if I refrain, what goes from me?

7 But now he has exhausted me;

you have devastated my whole family,

8 and you have shriveled me—

it has become a witness,

and my leanness rises up against me,

it testifies against my face.

9 In his nose, he has torn me and he has attacked me;

he gnashes his teeth against me.

My enemy sharpens his eyes against me.

10 They have gaped at me with their mouth;

in reproach they have struck my cheek;

they have gathered themselves together against me.

11 God delivers me to sinners,

and into the hands of the wicked he throws me.

12 I was tranquil, but he has shattered me,

and he has seized my neck and shaken me to pieces.

And he has set me up as a target for him;

his archers have surrounded me.

He pierces my kidneys and he does not spare;

he pours my bile on the ground.

14 He breaches me, breach upon the face of breach;

he runs against me like a warrior.

15 I have sewn sackcloth on my skin,

and I have thrust my horn into the dust.

16 My face is red with weeping,

and on my eyelids is a dark shadow,

17 although violence is not in my hands

and my prayer is pure.

18 Earth, do not conceal my blood,

and may there not be a hiding place for my cry.

19 Even now, behold, my witness is in the heavens,

and my advocate is in the heights.

20 My intercessors are my friends;

my eye weeps to God.

21 And he will argue for a man with God,

and a son of man for his neighbor.

22 For years of number will come,

and I will go on a path, I will not return.
