Job 16:9-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

9. God attacks me and tears me with anger.He grinds his teeth at me.My enemy stares at me with his angry eyes.

10. People open their mouths to make fun of me.They hit my cheeks to insult me.They join together against me.

11. God has turned me over to evil men.He has thrown me into the clutches of the wicked.

12. Everything was fine with me.But then God broke me into pieces.He held me by the neck and crushed me.He has made me his target.

13. God’s archers surround me.He stabs my kidneys and has no mercy.He spills my blood on the ground.

14. Again and again God attacks me.He runs at me like a soldier.
