Job 16 — ENGLXXUP

16 Verse 1 But Job answered and said, ^{Verse 2} I have heard many such things: ^{Verse 3} What! is there any reason in vain words? ^{Verse 4} I also will speak as ye do: ^{Verse 5} And would there were strength in my mouth, ^{Verse 6} For if I should speak, I shall not feel the pain of my wound: ^{Verse 7} But now he has made me weary, and a worn-out fool; ^{Verse 8} My falsehood has become a testimony, ^{Verse 9} In his anger he has cast me down; ^{Verse 10} He has attacked me with the keen glances of his eyes; ^{Verse 11} For the Lord has delivered me into the hands of unrighteous men, ^{Verse 12} When I was at peace he distracted me: ^{Verse 13} They surrounded me with spears, ^{Verse 14} They overthrew me with fall upon fall: ^{Verse 15} They sewed sackcloth upon my skin, ^{Verse 16} My belly has been parched with wailing, ^{Verse 17} Yet there was no injustice in my hands, ^{Verse 18} Earth, cover not over the blood of my flesh, ^{Verse 19} And now, behold, my witness is in heaven, ^{Verse 20} Let my supplication come to the Lord, ^{Verse 21} Oh that a man might plead before the Lord, ^{Verse 22} But my years are numbered and their end come,
