Job 16:13

Job 16:13

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;
