Job: 16
1. Then Job spoke again:
2. "I have heard all this before. What miserable comforters you are!
3. Won't you ever stop your flow of foolish words? What have I said that makes you speak so endlessly?
4. I could say the same things if you were in my place. I could spout off my criticisms against you and shake my head at you.
5. But that's not what I would do. I would speak in a way that helps you. I would try to take away your grief.
6. But as it is, my grief remains no matter how I defend myself. And it does not help if I refuse to speak.
7. "O God, you have ground me down and devastated my family.
8. You have reduced me to skin and bones--as proof, they say, of my sins.
9. God hates me and tears angrily at my flesh. He gnashes his teeth at me and pierces me with his eyes.
10. People jeer and laugh at me. They slap my cheek in contempt. A mob gathers against me.
11. God has handed me over to sinners. He has tossed me into the hands of the wicked.
12. "I was living quietly until he broke me apart. He took me by the neck and dashed me to pieces. Then he set me up as his target.
13. His archers surrounded me, and his arrows pierced me without mercy. The ground is wet with my blood.
14. Again and again he smashed me, charging at me like a warrior.
15. Here I sit in sackcloth. I have surrendered, and I sit in the dust.
16. My eyes are red with weeping; darkness covers my eyes.
17. Yet I am innocent, and my prayer is pure.
18. "O earth, do not conceal my blood. Let it cry out on my behalf.
19. Even now my witness is in heaven. My advocate is there on high.
20. My friends scorn me, but I pour out my tears to God.
21. Oh, that someone would mediate between God and me, as a person mediates between friends.
22. For soon I must go down that road from which I will never return.
Job: 17
1. "My spirit is crushed, and I am near death. The grave is ready to receive me.
2. I am surrounded by mockers. I watch how bitterly they taunt me.
3. "You must defend my innocence, O God, since no one else will stand up for me.
4. You have closed their minds to understanding, but do not let them triumph.
5. They denounce their companions for their own advantage, so let their children faint with hunger.
6. "God has made a mockery of me among the people; they spit in my face.
7. My eyes are dim with weeping, and I am but a shadow of my former self.
8. The upright are astonished when they see me. The innocent are aroused against the ungodly.
9. The righteous will move onward and forward, and those with pure hearts will become stronger and stronger.
10. "As for all of you, come back and try again! But I will not find a wise man among you.
11. My days are over. My hopes have disappeared. My heart's desires are broken.
12. They say that night is day and day is night; how they pervert the truth!
13. I might go to the grave and make my bed in darkness.
14. And I might call the grave my father, and the worm my mother and my sister.
15. But where then is my hope? Can anyone find it?
16. No, my hope will go down with me to the grave. We will rest together in the dust!"
Job: 18
1. Then Bildad the Shuhite replied:
2. "How long before you stop talking? Speak sense if you want us to answer!
3. Do you think we are cattle? Do you think we have no intelligence?
4. You may tear your hair out in anger, but will that cause the earth to be abandoned? Will it make rocks fall from a cliff?
5. "The truth remains that the light of the wicked will be snuffed out. The sparks of their fire will not glow.
6. The light in their tent will grow dark. The lamp hanging above them will be quenched.
7. The confident stride of the wicked will be shortened. Their own schemes will be their downfall.
8. "The wicked walk into a net. They fall into a pit that's been dug in the path.
9. A trap grabs them by the heel. A noose tightens around them.
10. A snare lies hidden in the ground. A rope lies coiled on their path.
11. "Terrors surround the wicked and trouble them at every step.
12. Their vigor is depleted by hunger, and calamity waits for them to stumble.
13. Disease eats their skin; death devours their limbs.
14. They are torn from the security of their tent, and they are brought down to the king of terrors.
15. The home of the wicked will disappear beneath a fiery barrage of burning sulfur.
16. Their roots will dry up, and their branches will wither.
17. All memory of their existence will perish from the earth. No one will remember them.
18. They will be thrust from light into darkness, driven from the world.
19. They will have neither children nor grandchildren, nor any survivor in their home country.
20. People in the west are appalled at their fate; people in the east are horrified.
21. They will say, `This was the home of a wicked person, the place of one who rejected God.'"
