1
Then Job replied:
2
“I have heard many things like these before. What miserable comforters are you all!
3
Will there be an end to your windy words? Or what provokes you that you answer?
4
I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could pile up words against you and I could shake my head at you.
5
But I would strengthen you with my words; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
6
“But if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I refrain from speaking — how much of it goes away?
7
Surely now he has worn me out, you have devastated my entire household.
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 kidneys and 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 hands and 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.
20
My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;
21
and he contends with God on behalf of man as a man pleads for his friend.
22
For the years that lie ahead are few, and then I will go on the way of no return.
