Job 16:3-11 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. Your long speeches never end! Why do you continue arguing?

4. I also could say the same things you say, if you had my troubles. I could say wise things against you and shake my head at you.

5. But I would say things to encourage you and give you hope.

6. “Nothing I say makes my pain go away. But keeping quiet does not help either.

7. God, you surely took away my strength. You destroyed my whole family.

8. You have made me thin and weak, and people think that means I am guilty.

9. “God attacks me; he is angry with me and tears my body apart. He grinds his teeth against me. My enemy looks at me with hate.

10. People have crowded around me. They make fun of me and slap my face.

11. God has given me to evil people. He let the wicked hurt me.
