Read in context

Job 16:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.

11 God has delivered me to unjust men; He has thrown me to the clutches of the wicked.

12 I was at ease, but He shattered me; He seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has set me up as His target;

13 His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.

14 He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.
