Job Chapter 16 - | Early Church Bible

1: And undertaking [G5274][G1161], Job says [G3004],
2: I have heard such [things] [G5108] many [G4183]. comforters bad [G2556] [You are] all [G3956].
3: For what [G5100][G1063], [G3361] order [G5010] is there in words [G4487] of wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151]? or [G2228] what [G5100] will it trouble [G3926] you [G1473] that [G3754] you answer ?
4: I also [G2504] as [G2596] you [G1473] could speak [G2980] if [G1487] laid indeed [G1065] the [G3588] your life [G5590][G1473] instead of the [G3588] my [life [G1699]. So then [G1534] I will assail against you [G1473] with words [G4487], and I will shake [G2795][G1161] as [G2596] you [G1473] [my] head [G2776].
5: And may that there be [G1161] strength [G2479] in [G1722] the [G3588] mouth [G4750] of me [G1473], movement [G2796] then [G1161] of [my] lips [G5491] I would not [G3756] spare [G5339].
6: For if [G1437][G1063] I will speak [G2980] will not [G3756] ache the [G3588] [my] wound [G5134]; and if [G1437][G1161] also [G2532] I keep silent [G4623], how [G5100] less [G1640] will I be pierced ?
7: But now [G3568][G1161], me exhausted [G1473] he has made [G4160], moron [G3474] a festering [G4595], and [G2532] it took hold of [G1949] me [G1473].
8: For [G1519] a testimony [G3142] I became [G1096], and [G2532] rose up in [G1722] me [G1473] the [G3588] my lie [G5579][G1473]; according to [G2596] my face [G4383][G1473] it was answered .
9: In anger [G3709] one dealing with [me [G5530] cast me down [G2598][G1473]; he gnashed [G1031] against [G1909] me [G1473] [with his the [G3588] teeth [G3599]; arrows of his marauders [G1473] upon [G1909] me [G1473] have fallen [G4098];
10: points of [his] eyes [G3788] he assailed [me [with the] sharp [G3691]; he smote [G3817] me [G1473] onto [G1519] [my the [G3588] knees [G1119]; and with one accord [G3661][G1161] they ran [G2701] upon [G1909] me [G1473].
11: delivered [G3860] For [G1063] me [G1473] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962] into [G1519] hands [G5495] of unjust , and unto [G1909][G1161] impious he tossed [G4495] me [G1473].
12: Making peace [G1514] he effaced me [G1473]; taking [G2983] me [G1473] by the [G3588] hair of the head [G2864] he plucked it out ; he placed [G2525] me [G1473] as if [G5618] an exemplar [G4649].
13: They encircled [G2944] me [G1473] [with] lances [G3057], casting into [G1519] my kidney [G3510][G1473], not [G3756] sparing [G5339]; they poured out [G1632] onto [G1519] the [G3588] land '[G1093] the [G3588] my bile [G5521][G1473].
14: They threw me down [G2598], downfall [G4430] upon [G1909] downfall [G4430]; they ran [G5143] against [G4314] me [G1473] prevailing [G1410];
15: sackcloth [G4526] they sewed upon [G1909] my hide [G1473]; the [G3588] and [G1161] my strength [G1473] in [G1722] land '[G1093] was extinguished [G4570].
16: the [G3588] My belly [G1064][G1473] burns from weeping [G2805], and upon [G1909][G1161] my eyelids a shadow [G4639] of death [G2288].
17: unjust [thing] And [G1161] not one [G3762] there was in [G1722] my hands [G5495][G1473], vow [G2171] and [G1161] my [G1473] [is] pure [G2513].
18: O land '[G1093], you should not cover [G3361][G1943] over [G1909] blood of the [G3588] my flesh [G4561][G1473], nor [G3366] may there be a place [G5117] for the [G3588] my cry [G2906][G1473].
19: And [G2532] now [G3568] look [G2400], [is] in [G1722] raised-places-above (skies) '[G3772] the [G3588] my witness [G3144][G1473], the [G3588] and [G1161] my joint witness [G1473] [is] in [G1722] highest [G5310].
20: May arrive my [G1473] the [G3588] supplication [G1162] unto [G4314] Boss '[G2962], and before [G1725][G1161] him [G1473] may drip [tears my [G1473] the [G3588] eye [G3788].
21: And may it be [G1161] reproof [G1650] to man before [G1726] Boss '[G2962], and [G2532] to a son [G5207] of man [to the [G3588] his neighbor [G4139][G1473].
22: years [G2094] But [G1161] counted have come [G2240]; and in way [G3598][G1161] in which [G3739] I will not [G3756] be returned -- I will go [G4198].
