Job Chapter 16 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Then Job <H0347> answered <H6030> and said, <H0559>
2: I have heard <H8085> many <H7227> such things: miserable <H5999> comforters <H5162> [are] ye all.
3: Shall vain <H7307> words <H1697> have an end? <H7093> or what emboldeneth <H4834> thee that thou answerest? <H6030>
4: I also could speak <H1696> as ye [do]: if <H3863> your soul <H5315> were <H3426> in my soul's <H5315> stead, I could heap up <H2266> words <H4405> against you, and shake <H5128> mine head <H7218> at you. <H1119>
5: [But] I would strengthen <H0553> you with <H1119> my mouth, <H6310> and the moving <H5205> of my lips <H8193> should asswage <H2820> [your grief].
6: Though I speak, <H1696> my grief <H3511> is not asswaged: <H2820> and [though] I forbear, <H2308> what am I eased? <H1980>
7: But now he hath made me weary: <H3811> thou hast made desolate <H8074> all my company. <H5712>
8: And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, <H7059> [which] is a witness <H5707> [against me]: and my leanness <H3585> rising up <H6965> in me beareth witness <H6030> to my face. <H6440>
9: He teareth <H2963> [me] in his wrath, <H0639> who hateth <H7852> me: he gnasheth <H2786> upon me with his teeth; <H8127> mine enemy <H6862> sharpeneth <H3913> his eyes <H5869> upon me.
10: They have gaped <H6473> upon me with their mouth; <H6310> they have smitten <H5221> me upon the cheek <H3895> reproachfully; <H2781> they have gathered <H4390> themselves together <H3162> against me.
11: God <H0410> hath delivered <H5462> me to the ungodly, <H5760> and turned me over <H3399> into the hands <H3027> of the wicked. <H7563>
12: I was at ease, <H7961> but he hath broken me asunder: <H6565> he hath also taken <H0270> [me] by my neck, <H6203> and shaken me to pieces, <H6327> and set me up <H6965> for his mark. <H4307>
13: His archers <H7228> compass me round about, <H5437> he cleaveth <H6398> my reins <H3629> asunder, and doth not spare; <H2550> he poureth out <H8210> my gall <H4845> upon the ground. <H0776>
14: He breaketh <H6555> me with breach <H6556> upon <H6440> breach, <H6556> he runneth <H7323> upon me like a giant. <H1368>
15: I have sewed <H8609> sackcloth <H8242> upon my skin, <H1539> and defiled <H5953> my horn <H7161> in the dust. <H6083>
16: My face <H6440> is foul <H2560> with weeping, <H1065> and on my eyelids <H6079> [is] the shadow of death; <H6757>
17: Not for [any] injustice <H2555> in mine hands: <H3709> also my prayer <H8605> [is] pure. <H2134>
18: O earth, <H0776> cover <H3680> not thou my blood, <H1818> and let my cry <H2201> have no place. <H4725>
19: Also now, behold, my witness <H5707> [is] in heaven, <H8064> and my record <H7717> [is] on high. <H4791>
20: My friends <H7453> scorn <H3887> me: [but] mine eye <H5869> poureth out <H1811> [tears] unto God. <H0433>
21: O that one might plead <H3198> for a man <H1397> with God, <H0433> as a man <H1121> <H0120> [pleadeth] for his neighbour! <H7453>
22: When a few <H4557> years <H8141> are come, <H0857> then I shall go <H1980> the way <H0734> [whence] I shall not return. <H7725>
