Job 16:8-15 New English Translation (NET)

8. You have seized me, and it has become a witness;my leanness has risen up against me and testifies against me.

9. His anger has torn me and persecuted me;he has gnashed at me with his teeth;my adversary locks his eyes on me.

10. People have opened their mouths against me,they have struck my cheek in scorn;they unite together against me.

11. God abandons me to evil men,and throws me into the hands of wicked men.

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;
