CHAP. XVI.
1 Iob reproueth his friends of vnmercifulnesse. 7 He sheweth the pitifulnesse of his case. 17 He maintaineth his innocencie.
2I haue heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.2
3Shall vaine words haue an ende? or what emboldeneth thee, that thou answerest?3
5But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the mouing of my lips should asswage your griefe.
6Though I speake, my griefe is not asswaged: and though I forbeare; what am I eased?6
7But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate al my companie.
11God hath deliuered me to the vngodly, and turned me ouer into the hands of the wicked.11
14He breaketh me with breach vpon breach, he runneth vpon me like a giant.
15I haue sowed sackcloth vpon my skin, and defiled my horne in the dust.
16My face is fowle with weeping, and on mine eye-lids is the shadow of death;
17Not for any iniustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
18O earth couer not thou my blood, and let my cry haue no place.
19Also now, behold my witnesse is in heauen, and my record is on high.19
20My friends scorne me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.20
21O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour.21
22When a few yeeres are come, then I shall goe the way whence I shall not returne.22
