< Job 16 >

1 Then Job answered, and said,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 I have heard many such things. Miserable comforters are ye all.
I have heard like these [things] many [are] comforters of trouble all of you.
3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes thee that thou answer?
¿ [does] an end [belong] to Words of wind or what? is it making sick you that you will answer.
4 I also could speak as ye do, if your soul were in my soul's stead. I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.
Also - I like you I will speak if there [were] self your in place of self my I will make join on you words and I will shake on you with head my.
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
I will strengthen you with mouth my and [the] condolence of lips my it will restrain.
6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged, and though I forbear, what am I eased?
If I will speak not it will be restrained pain my and I will cease what? from me will it go.
7 But now he has made me weary. Thou have made desolate all my company.
Nevertheless now he has made weary me you have devastated all company my.
8 And thou have laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me. And my leanness rises up against me; it testifies to my face.
And you have seized me a witness it has become and it has risen up on me leanness my in face my it testifies.
9 He has torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me. He has gnashed upon me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes upon me.
Anger his it has torn [me] - and it has assailed me he has gnashed towards me with teeth his opponent my - he sharpens eyes his to me.
10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth. They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully. They gather themselves together against me.
People have opened wide on me - mouth their in scorn they have struck cheeks my together on me they mass themselves!
11 God delivers me to the perverse, and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
He delivers up me God to an unjust one and on [the] hands of wicked [people] he casts me.
12 I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yea, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his mark.
At ease I was - and he smashed me and he took hold on neck my and he shattered me and he set up me of him to a target.
13 His archers encompass me round about. He splits my reins apart, and does not spare. He pours out my gall upon the ground.
They surround me - archers his he splits open kidneys my and not he has compassion he pours out to the ground gall my.
14 He breaks me with breach upon breach. He runs upon me like a giant.
He breaks through me a breach on [the] face of a breach he runs on me like a warrior.
15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my horn in the dust.
Sackcloth I have sewed over skin my and I have inserted in the dust horn my.
16 My face is red with weeping, and the shadow of death is on my eyelids,
Face my (they are reddened *Q(K)*) from weeping and [is] on eyelids my deep darkness.
17 although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
On not violence [is] in hands my and prayer my [is] pure.
18 O earth, do not cover thou my blood, and let my cry have no resting place.
O earth may not you cover blood my and may not it belong a place to outcry my.
19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he who vouches for me is on high.
Also now there! [is] in the heavens witness my and witness my [is] in high places.
20 My friends scoff at me. My eye pours out tears to God
[are] scoffing at Me companions my to God it has wept eye my.
21 that he would maintain the right of a man with God, and of a son of man with his neighbor!
And he may argue for a man with God and a child of humankind for companion his.
22 For when a few years are come, I shall go the way where I shall not return.
For years of number they will come and a way [which] not I will return I will go.
