"my face is reddened because of weeping, and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness,"
— Job 16:16, NET Bible
“My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;”
“My face is red with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death; ”
“My face is red with weeping. Deep darkness is on my eyelids.”
“I have sowed sackcloth upon my skin, and have covered my flesh with ashes.”
“My face is red with weeping, and my eyes are becoming dark;”
“My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;”
his archers surround me. Without pity he pierces my kidneys and pours out my gall on the ground.
He breaks through against me, time and time again; he rushes against me like a warrior.
I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and buried my horn in the dust;
my face is reddened because of weeping, and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness,
although there is no violence in my hands and my prayer is pure.
An Appeal to God as Witness“O earth, do not cover my blood, nor let there be a secret place for my cry.
Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.
