And it is a awitness against me;
My leanness rises up against me
And bears witness to my face.
He gnashes at me with His teeth;
bMy adversary sharpens His gaze on me.
They bstrike me reproachfully on the cheek,
They gather together against me.
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 16:8 | Job 16:10 >> |
