Job 16
1 and to answer Job and to say
Then answered Job, and said,
2 to hear: hear like/as these many to be sorry: comfort trouble all your
I have heard many things such as these: troublesome comforters are ye all.
3 end to/for word spirit: breath or what? be sick you for to answer
Shall there be any end to words of wind? or what compelleth thee that thou shouldst answer?
4 also I like/as you to speak: speak if there soul: myself your underneath: instead soul: myself my to unite upon you in/on/with speech and to shake upon you in/at/by head my
I also could well speak as ye do: if your soul were but in my soul's stead, I could overwhelm you with words, and could shake my head at you.
5 to strengthen you in/at/by lip my and solace lips my to withhold
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the condolence of my lips should restrain [your grief].
6 if to speak: speak not to withhold pain my and to cease what? from me to go: went
Though I were to speak, my pain would not be restrained; and though I should forbear, what will go away from me?
7 surely now be weary me be desolate: destroyed all congregation my
But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
8 and to seize me to/for witness to be and to arise: attack in/on/with me lie my in/on/with face my to answer
And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, they are my witnesses; and my leanness riseth up for me, giveth its testimony to my face.
9 face: anger his to tear and to hate me to grind upon me in/on/with tooth his enemy my to sharpen eye his to/for me
In his wrath he teareth me to pieces, and assaileth me: he gnasheth over me with his teeth; my adversary sendeth threatening looks at me.
10 to open upon me in/on/with lip their in/on/with reproach to smite jaw my unitedness upon me to fill [emph?]
They now open wide against me their mouth; reproachfully they smite my cheek: altogether do they assemble against me.
11 to shut me God to(wards) unjust one and upon hand wicked to wring me
God hath surrendered me to the unjust, and cast me down into the hands of the wicked.
12 at ease to be and to break me and to grasp in/on/with neck my and to shatter me and to arise: establish me to/for him to/for guardhouse
I was at ease, but he hath crushed me; he hath also grasped me by the neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up unto himself as a mark;
13 to turn: surround upon me archer his to cleave kidney my and not to spare to pour: pour to/for land: soil gall my
His archers encompass me round about; he cleaveth my reins sunder, and doth not pity; he poureth out upon the ground my gall;
14 to break through me breach upon face of breach to run: run upon me like/as mighty man
He breaketh me down with breach upon breach; he runneth against me like a mighty man.
15 sackcloth to sew upon skin my and to thrust in/on/with dust horn my
Sackcloth have I sewed upon my skin, and my horn I roll in the dust.
16 face my (be red *Q(K)*) from weeping and upon eyelid my shadow
My face gloweth from weeping, and on my eyelids resteth the shadow of death:
17 upon not violence in/on/with palm my and prayer my pure
Not because any violence is in my hands, and while my prayer is pure.
18 land: soil not to cover blood my and not to be place to/for outcry my
Earth! do thou not cover up my blood, and let no place restrain my cry.
19 also now behold in/on/with heaven witness my and advocate my in/on/with height
Even now, behold, my witness is in the heavens, and one that testifieth for me is on high.
20 to mock me neighbor my to(wards) god to drip eye my
Are my friends my defenders? unto God my eye poureth out [its tears].
21 and to rebuke to/for great man with god and son: child man to/for neighbor his
And oh that a man might plead with God, as one son of earth with the other!
22 for year number to come and way not to return: return to go: went
For when the numbered years are passed, then must I travel a path whence I cannot return.
