He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces;
He has bset me up for His target,
He pierces my1 heart and does not pity;
He pours out my gall on the ground.

Job 16:13
His archers compass me - rabbaiv "his great ones." The Vulgate and Septuagint translate this his spears; the Syriac, Arabic, and Chaldee, his arrows. On this and the following verse Mr. Heath observes: "The metaphor is here taken from huntsmen: first, they surround the beast; then he is shot dead; his entrails are next taken out; and then his body is broken up limb by limb."
