— Job 16:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.”
“And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me: And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face. ”
“You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me. It testifies to my face.”
“You have seized me, and it has become a witness; my leanness has risen up against me and testifies against me.”
“But now my sorrow hath oppressed me, and all my limbs are brought to nothing.”
“It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.”
“And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.”
I would also comfort you with speeches and would wag my head over you.
I would strengthen you with my mouth, and would move my lips, as if being lenient to you.
But what can I do? When I am speaking, my grief will not be quiet; and if I am quiet, it will not withdraw from me.
But now my grief has crushed me, and all my limbs have been reduced to nothing.
My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a liar rises up against my face, contradicting me.
He has gathered together his fury towards me, and, threatening me, he has roared against me with his teeth; my enemy has beheld me with terrible eyes.
They have opened their mouths against me, and, reproaching me, they have struck me on the cheek; they are nourished by my sufferings.
