Job 16:9-1964 ·Bible in Basic English

“I am broken by his wrath, and his hate has gone after me; he has made his teeth sharp against me: my haters are looking on me with cruel eyes; Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me. God gives me over to the power of sinners, sending me violently into the hands of evil-doers. I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows. His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth. I am broken with wound after wound; he comes rushing on me like a man of war. I have made haircloth the clothing of my skin, and my horn is rolled in the dust. My face is red with weeping, and my eyes are becoming dark; Though my hands have done no violent acts, and my prayer is clean. O earth, let not my blood be covered, and let my cry have no resting-place! Even now my witness is in heaven, and the supporter of my cause is on high. My friends make sport of me; to God my eyes are weeping, So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour. For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.”
