Job 16:11-18
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 16

11God hands me over to criminals, And tosses me into the hands of the wicked. 12I was at ease, but He shattered me, And He has grasped me by my neck and shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His target. 13His arrows surround me. He splits my kidneys open without mercy; He pours out my bile on the ground. 14He breaks through me with breach after breach; He runs at me like a warrior. 15I have sewed sackcloth over my skin, And thrust my horn in the dust. 16My face is flushed from weeping, And deep darkness is on my eyelids, 17Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure. 18'Earth, do not cover my blood, And may there be no resting place for my cry.
King James Version

Chapter 16

11God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
12I 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.
13His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
15I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
16My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. 18O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 16

11God hands me over to the unjust; he throws me to the wicked. 12I was at ease, but he shattered me; he seized me by the scruff of the neck and smashed me to pieces. He set me up as his target; 13his archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and pours my bile on the ground.
14He breaks through my defenses again and again; he charges at me like a warrior. 15I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my strength in the dust. 16My face has grown red with weeping, and darkness covers my eyes,
17although my hands are free from violence and my prayer is pure. 18Earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help find no resting place.
New Living Translation

Chapter 16

11God has handed me over to sinners. He has tossed me into the hands of the wicked.
12'I was living quietly until he shattered me. He took me by the neck and broke me in pieces. Then he set me up as his target, 13and now his archers surround me. His arrows pierce me without mercy. The ground is wet with my blood. 14Again and again he smashes against me, charging at me like a warrior. 15I wear burlap to show my grief. My pride lies in the dust. 16My eyes are red with weeping; dark shadows circle my eyes. 17Yet I have done no wrong, and my prayer is pure.
18'O earth, do not conceal my blood. Let it cry out on my behalf.
English Standard Version

Chapter 16

11God gives me up to the ungodly and casts me into the hands of the wicked. 12I was at ease, and he broke me apart; he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces; he set me up as his target; 13his archers surround me. He slashes open my kidneys and does not spare; he pours out my gall on the ground. 14He breaks me with breach upon breach; he runs upon me like a warrior. 15I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin and have laid my strength in the dust. 16My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is deep darkness, 17although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure. 18"O earth, cover not my blood, and let my cry find no resting place.
New International Version

Chapter 16

11God has turned me over to the ungodly and thrown me into the clutches of the wicked. 12All was well with me, but he shattered me; he seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has made me his target; 13his archers surround me. Without pity, he pierces my kidneys and spills my gall on the ground.
14Again and again he bursts upon me; he rushes at me like a warrior. 15"I have sewed sackcloth over my skin and buried my brow in the dust. 16My face is red with weeping, dark shadows ring my eyes;
17yet my hands have been free of violence and my prayer is pure. 18"Earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry never be laid to rest!
New King James Version

Chapter 16

11God has delivered me to the ungodly, And turned me over to the hands of the wicked. 12I was at ease, but He has shattered me; He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces; He has set me up for His target, 13His archers surround me. He pierces my heart and does not pity; He pours out my gall on the ground. 14He breaks me with wound upon wound; He runs at me like a warrior. 15“I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, And laid my head in the dust. 16My face is flushed from weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death; 17Although no violence is in my hands, And my prayer is pure. 18“O earth, do not cover my blood, And let my cry have no resting place!
