=====Job / Job 16 ===== ^ [[bijbels:kjv:|Terug naar Bijbel index]] ^ [[bijbels:kjv:tekst:job|Terug naar Boek index]] ^ \\ \\ [[commentaar:job16-1|1]] Then Job answered and said, \\ [[commentaar:job16-2|2]] I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. \\ [[commentaar:job16-3|3]] Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? \\ [[commentaar:job16-4|4]] I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you. \\ [[commentaar:job16-5|5]] But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief. \\ [[commentaar:job16-6|6]] Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased? \\ [[commentaar:job16-7|7]] But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. \\ [[commentaar:job16-8|8]] And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face. \\ [[commentaar:job16-9|9]] He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. \\ [[commentaar:job16-10|10]] They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. \\ [[commentaar:job16-11|11]] God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. \\ [[commentaar:job16-12|12]] I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. \\ [[commentaar:job16-13|13]] His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. \\ [[commentaar:job16-14|14]] He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. \\ [[commentaar:job16-15|15]] I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. \\ [[commentaar:job16-16|16]] My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; \\ [[commentaar:job16-17|17]] Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. \\ [[commentaar:job16-18|18]] O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. \\ [[commentaar:job16-19|19]] Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high. \\ [[commentaar:job16-20|20]] My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. \\ [[commentaar:job16-21|21]] O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! \\ [[commentaar:job16-22|22]] When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return. ^ [[job15| vorig hoofdstuk]] ^ [[job17|volgend hoofdstuk]] ^
