Job - Chapter: 16


16:1	Then Job answered and said,
16:2	I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
16:3	Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
16:4	I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
16:5	But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
16:6	Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
16:7	But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
16:8	And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
16:9	He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
16:10	They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
16:11	God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
16:12	I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
16:13	His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
16:14	He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
16:15	I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
16:16	My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
16:17	Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
16:18	O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
16:19	Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
16:20	My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
16:21	O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
16:22	When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.


16:1	Bvt Iob answered, and said,
16:2	I haue oft times heard such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
16:3	Shall there be none ende of wordes of winde? or what maketh thee bold so to answere?
16:4	I could also speake as yee doe: (but woulde God your soule were in my soules stead) I could keepe you company in speaking, and could shake mine head at you,
16:5	But I woulde strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips should asswage your sorowe.
16:6	Though I speake, my sorow can not be asswaged: though I cease, what release haue I?
16:7	But now hee maketh mee wearie: O God, thou hast made all my congregation desolate,
16:8	And hast made me full of wrinkles which is a witnesse thereof, and my leannes ryseth vp in me, testifying the same in my face.
16:9	His wrath hath torne me, and hee hateth me, and gnasheth vpon mee with his teeth: mine enemie hath sharpened his eyes against me.
16:10	They haue opened their mouthes vpon me, and smitten me on the cheeke in reproch; they gather themselues together against me.
16:11	God hath deliuered me to the vniust, and hath made mee to turne out of the way by the hands of the wicked.
16:12	I was in welth, but he hath brought me to nought: he hath taken me by the necke, and beaten me, and set me as a marke for himselfe.
16:13	His archers compasse mee rounde about: he cutteth my reines, and doth not spare, and powreth my gall vpon the ground.
16:14	He hath broken me with one breaking vpon another, and runneth vpon me like a gyant.
16:15	I haue sowed a sackcloth vpon my skinne, and haue abased mine horne vnto the dust.
16:16	My face is withered with weeping, and the shadow of death is vpon mine eyes,
16:17	Though there be no wickednesse in mine hands, and my prayer be pure.
16:18	O earth, couer not thou my blood, and let my crying finde no place.
16:19	For lo, now my witnesse is in the heauen, and my record is on hie.
16:20	My friends speake eloquently against me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.
16:21	Oh that a man might pleade with God, as man with his neighbour!
16:22	For the yeeres accounted come, and I shall go the way, whence I shall not returne.
