Job 16:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 16:12

10 They ^agape at me with their mouth,
They ^bstrike me reproachfully on the cheek,
They gather together against me.

11 God ^ahas delivered me to the ungodly,
And turned me over to the hands of the wicked.

12 I was at ease, but He has ^ashattered me;
He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces;
He has ^bset me up for His target,

13 His archers surround me.
He pierces my¹ heart and does not pity;
He pours out my gall on the ground.

14 He breaks me with wound upon wound;
He runs at me like a¹ warrior.

15 “I have sewn sackcloth over my skin,
And ^alaid my head in the dust.

16 My face is¹ flushed from weeping,
And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

17 Although no violence is in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.

18 “O earth, do not cover my blood,
And ^alet my cry have no resting place!

19 Surely even now ^amy witness is in heaven,
And my evidence is on high.
