Job 16:12-19 New English Translation (NET)

12. I was in peace, and he has shattered me.He has seized me by the neck and crushed me.He has made me his target;

13. his archers surround me.Without pity he pierces my kidneysand pours out my gall on the ground.

14. He breaks through against me, time and time again;he rushes against me like a warrior.

15. I have sewed sackcloth on my skin,and buried my horn in the dust;

16. my face is reddened because of weeping,and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness,

17. although there is no violence in my handsand my prayer is pure.

18. “O earth, do not cover my blood,nor let there be a secret place for my cry.

19. Even now my witness is in heaven;my advocate is on high.
