< Job 16 >
1 But Job answered and said,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 I have heard many such things: poor comforters are you all.
I have heard like these [things] many [are] comforters of trouble all of you.
3 What! is there any reason in vain words? or what will hinder you from answering?
¿ [does] an end [belong] to Words of wind or what? is it making sick you that you will answer.
4 I also will speak as you [do]: if indeed your soul were in my [soul's] stead, then would I insult you with words, and I would 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 And would there were strength in my mouth, and I would not spare the movement of my lips.
I will strengthen you with mouth my and [the] condolence of lips my it will restrain.
6 For if I should speak, I shall not feel the pain of my wound: and if I should be silent, how shall I be wounded the less?
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, and a worn-out fool; and you have laid hold of me.
Nevertheless now he has made weary me you have devastated all company my.
8 My falsehood has become a testimony, and has risen up against me: it has confronted me 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 In his anger he has cast me down; he has gnashed his teeth upon me: the weapons of his robbers have fallen 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 He has attacked me with the keen glances of his eyes; with his sharp [spear] he has struck me [down] upon my knees; and they have run upon me with one accord.
People have opened wide on me - mouth their in scorn they have struck cheeks my together on me they mass themselves!
11 For the Lord has delivered me into the hands of unrighteous men, and thrown me upon the ungodly.
He delivers up me God to an unjust one and on [the] hands of wicked [people] he casts me.
12 When I was at peace he distracted me: he took me by the hair of the head, and plucked it out: he set me up as a 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 They surrounded me with spears, aiming at my reins: without sparing [me] they poured 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 They overthrew me with fall upon fall: they ran upon me in [their] might.
He breaks through me a breach on [the] face of a breach he runs on me like a warrior.
15 They sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and my strength has been spent on the ground.
Sackcloth I have sewed over skin my and I have inserted in the dust horn my.
16 My belly has been parched with wailing, and darkness is on my eyelids.
Face my (they are reddened *Q(K)*) from weeping and [is] on eyelids my deep darkness.
17 Yet there was no injustice in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
On not violence [is] in hands my and prayer my [is] pure.
18 Earth, cover not over the blood of my flesh, and let my cry have no place.
O earth may not you cover blood my and may not it belong a place to outcry my.
19 And now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
Also now there! [is] in the heavens witness my and witness my [is] in high places.
20 Let my supplication come to the Lord, and let mine eye weep before him.
[are] scoffing at Me companions my to God it has wept eye my.
21 Oh that a man might plead before the Lord, even [as] the son of man with his neighbour!
And he may argue for a man with God and a child of humankind for companion his.
22 But my years are numbered and [their end] come, and I shall go by the way by which I shall not return.
For years of number they will come and a way [which] not I will return I will go.
