Read in context

Job 16:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

15 I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.

16 My face is red with weeping, and deep shadows ring my eyes;

17 yet my hands are free of violence and my prayer is pure.
