Job 16 sa lain-laing mga hubad
New Messianic
16:1
NMV
Then Iyov [hated] answered and said,
16:2
NMV
I have heard many such things: miserable comforters [are] you2f all.
16:3
NMV
Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldens youi that youi answer?
16:4
NMV
I also could speak as you2f [do]: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you.
16:5
NMV
[But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should assuage [your grief].
16:6
NMV
Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: and [though] I refrain (restrain; refrein from acting), what am I eased?
16:7
NMV
But now he has made me weary: youi have made desolate all my company.
16:8
NMV
And youi have filled me with wrinkles, [which] is a witness [against me]: and my leanness rising up in me bears witness to my face.
16:9
NMV
He tears [me] in his wrath, who hates me: he gnashes upon me with his teeth; my enemy sharpens his eyes upon me.
16:10
NMV
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
16:11
NMV
God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
16:12
NMV
I was at ease, but he has broken me asunder: he has also taken [me] by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
16:13
NMV
His archers compass (go around, encircle; encompass) me round about, he cleaves my reins (literally, kidneys; figuratively, seat of emotion) asunder, and does not spare; he pours out my gall (something bitter or poisonous) upon the ground.
16:14
NMV
He breaks me with breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) upon breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet), he runs upon me like a giant.
16:15
NMV
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
16:16
NMV
My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids [is] the shadow of death;
16:17
NMV
Not for [any] injustice in my hands: also my prayer [is] pure.
16:18
NMV
O earth, cover not youi my blood, and let my cry have no place.
16:19
NMV
Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my record [is] on high.
16:20
NMV
My friends scorn me: [but] my eye pours out [tears] unto God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].
16:21
NMV
O that one might plead for a man with God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], as a man [pleads] for his neighbour!
16:22
NMV
When a few years are come, then I shall go the way [from what place] I shall not return.
