Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993
| 16:1 | And answered and said: |
| 16:2 | I have heard many such things . You are all miserable comforters. |
| 16:3 | Is there an end to windy words? Or what provokes you that you answer? |
| 16:4 | I also could speak as you. If your soul were in the place of my soul, I could bind words against you and shake at you with my head. |
| 16:5 | I might make you strong with my mouth, and the moving of my lips could spare you. |
| 16:6 | If I speak, my pain is not held back; and though I forbear, what ease do I get? |
| 16:7 | But now He has made me weary. You have made all my company desolate. |
| 16:8 | And You have plucked me; for it is a witness, and my failure rises up against me; and it answers to my face. |
| 16:9 | His anger has torn, and hated me ; He gnashes at me with His teeth; my enemy sharpens His eyes at me. |
| 16:10 | They have gaped at me with their mouth, and scornfully struck my cheek; they gather themselves together against me. |
| 16:11 | God has delivered me to the perverse; and He has turned me over into the hands of the wicked. |
| 16:12 | I was at ease, but He has shattered me; yea, He has also taken hold on my neck and broken me to bits; and He has set me up as a target for Him. |
| 16:13 | His archers surround me; He splits my inward parts and has no pity; He pours out my gall on the ground |
| 16:14 | He breaks me with break on top of break; He runs on me like a warrior. |
| 16:15 | I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and I have thrust my horn in the dust. |
| 16:16 | My face is reddened from weeping; and the shadow of death is on my eyelids, |
| 16:17 | though no violence is in my hand, and my prayer is pure. |
| 16:18 | O earth, do not cover my blood, and let not my cry have a place. |
| 16:19 | Even now, behold! My witness is in Heaven; and He who testifies of me is on high. |
| 16:20 | My scorners are my friends; my eye pours out tears to God. |
| 16:21 | O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleads for his friend! |
| 16:22 | For years few in number will come; and I shall not return the way I shall go. |
