Iob 16

1 Job reproveth his friends of unmercifulness. 7 He sheweth the pitifulness of his case. 17 He maintaineth his innocency.

 16:1 ¶ Then Iob 347 answered, 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799

 16:2 I haue heard 8085 z8804 many x7227 such things: y7227 x428 miserable 5999 comforters 5162 z8764 [are] ye all. x3605

 16:3 Shall vaine 7307 words 1697 [haue] an ende? 7093 or x176 what x4100 emboldeneth 4834 z8686 thee, that x3588 thou answerest? 6030 z8799

 16:4 I x595 also x1571 could speake 1696 z8762 as yee [doe]: if 3863 your soule 5315 were 3426 in my soules y5315 stead, x8478 x5315 I could heape vp 2266 z8686 words 4405 against x5921 you, and shake 5128 z8686 mine x1119 head 7218 at y1119 x5921 you.

 16:5 [But] I would strengthen 553 z8762 you with 1119 my mouth, 6310 and the mouing 5205 of my lips 8193 should asswage 2820 z8799 [your griefe].

 16:6 Though x518 I speake, 1696 z8762 my griefe 3511 is not x3808 asswaged: 2820 z8735 and [though] I forbeare; 2308 z8799 what x4100 x4480 am I eased? 1980 z8799

 16:7 But x389 now x6258 he hath made me weary: 3811 z8689 thou hast made desolate 8074 z8689 al x3605 my companie. 5712

 16:8 And thou hast filled mee with wrinckles, 7059 z8799 [which] is x1961 a witnesse 5707 [against me]: and my leannesse 3585 rising vp 6965 z8799 in me, beareth witnesse 6030 z8799 to my face. 6440

 16:9 He teareth 2963 z8804 [me] in his wrath, 639 who hateth 7852 z8799 me: he gnasheth 2786 z8804 vpon x5921 me with his teeth; 8127 mine enemy 6862 sharpeneth 3913 z8799 his eyes 5869 vpon me.

 16:10 They haue gaped 6473 z8804 vpon x5921 me with their mouth, 6310 they haue smitten 5221 z8689 me vpon the cheeke 3895 reprochfully, 2781 they haue gathered y4390 z8691 themselues x4390 together 3162 against x5921 mee.

 16:11 God 410 hath deliuered 5462 z8686 me to x413 the vngodly, 5760 and turned me ouer 3399 z8804 into x5921 the hands 3027 of the wicked. 7563

 16:12 I was x1961 at ease, 7961 but he hath broken me asunder: 6565 z8770 he hath also taken 270 z8804 me by my necke, 6203 and shaken me to pieces, 6327 z8770 and set me vp 6965 z8686 for his marke. 4307

 16:13 His archers 7228 compasse me round about, 5437 z8799 x5921 he cleaueth 6398 z0 my reines 3629 asunder, y6398 z8762 and doeth not x3808 spare; 2550 z8799 he powreth out 8210 z8799 my gall 4845 vpon the ground. 776

 16:14 He breaketh 6555 z8799 me with breach 6556 vpon 6440 x5921 breach, 6556 he runneth 7323 z8799 vpon x5921 me like a giant. 1368

 16:15 I haue sowed 8609 z8804 sackcloth 8242 vpon x5921 my skin, 1539 and defiled 5953 z8782 my horne 7161 in the dust. 6083

 16:16 My face 6440 is fowle 2560 z8777 with x4480 weeping, 1065 and on x5921 mine eye-lids 6079 is the shadow of death; 6757

 16:17 Not x3808 for x5921 any iniustice 2555 in mine hands: 3709 also my prayer 8605 is pure. 2134

 16:18 O earth 776 couer 3680 z8762 not x408 thou my blood, 1818 and let my cry 2201 haue x1961 no x408 place. 4725

 16:19 Also x1571 now, x6258 behold x2009 my witnesse 5707 is in heauen, 8064 and my record 7717 [is] on high. 4791

 16:20 My friends 7453 scorne 3887 z8688 me: [but] mine eye 5869 powreth out 1811 z8804 [teares] vnto x413 God. 433

 16:21 O that one might plead 3198 z8686 for a man 1397 with x5973 God, 433 as a man 120 x1121 [pleadeth] for his neighbour. 7453 y1121

 16:22 When x3588 a few 4557 yeeres 8141 are come, 857 z8799 then I shall goe 1980 z8799 the way 734 [whence] I shall not x3808 returne. 7725 z8799
