Job 16

Job 16:3

Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou thus answerest?

When wilt thou have made an end of these vain speeches? Or what hath moved thee to make so uncharitable a reply to my words?

Job 16:7

But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

But now, God hath loaded me with sorrow, till I am even weary of bearing it; yea thou, O Lord, hast put a distraction betwixt my family, my friends, and myself; and hast made us all miserable.

Job 16:8

Thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me.

The wrinkles, that are suddenly grown in my face, are a sufficient witness of my extreme suffering.

Job 16:9

He teareth me with his teeth who hateth me, &c.

Mine enemy, who beareth deadly hatred against me, hath now his full scope of malice upon me; and, in his cruelty, insulteth over me at pleasure.

Job 16:13

He cleaveth my reins asunder; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

His wrath reacheth to my inmost parts, even to my reins and gall; and leaveth no part of me free from his tormenting hand.

Job 16:15

And defiled my horn in the dust.

I have laid down all mine honour in the dust; and have justly humbled myself, in the very height of my glory, by casting dust and ashes upon my forlorn head.
