Job 16:7 - 16:14

7
But now He has exhausted me;
You have made desolate all my company.
8
You have shriveled me up,
It has become a witness;
And my leanness rises up against me,
It answers to my face.
9
His anger has torn me and hunted me down;
He has gnashed at me with His teeth;
My adversary sharpens his eyes to look at me.
10
They have opened their mouth wide at me;
They have struck me on the cheek in reproach;
They have massed themselves against me.
11
God hands me over to ruffians
And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.
12
I was at ease, but He shattered me,
And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces;
He has also set me up as His target.
13
His arrows surround me.
Without mercy He splits my kidneys open;
He pours out my gall on the ground.
14
He breaks through me with breach after breach;
He runs at me like a warrior.
