Job Chapter 16

Job 16

Job's fourth reaction 

1 Job answered and said;

2 Listening to abundant things to be consoled is a hard-work:

3 and why your spoken words are to the extreme? Will the SPIRIT (of God) respond with such pressure/energy (month of march)?

4 IF your souls were my soul and I were to join, to rehearse words with you, I would have moved/shaken my head alongside with yours:

5 I would have been courageous with the motion of the lips of my mouth and still withhold some things.  

6 why walking all along to you and still withhold some things? Because I will only rehearse things that will stop your mental pain. 

7 - I am appalled and tired (leah) of your kind of fixtures of people:

8 - you are such a witness who rise-up and respond with denial/feigned things, just to get my face frowned/wrinkled, 

9 - you are with sharpened eyes, grating your teeth, to revile/oppose (sawtam) me in anger and to tear off/prey on someone in a tight place:

10 - you open wide your mouth - and replenish your cheek with reproach and wound/strike me altogether. 

11 you are like a main-leader (el) who lock down a young boy and hurl him into the hands of a wicked man (Aramaic) 

12 you rose up for a purpose/target, but you are breaking down serenity of someone; you have seized someone by his nape/back of his neck, and dashed him into pieces.

13 you are to surround to commiserate but you pierce reins/kidney open - and spill forth abundant bile/bitter things on the ground:

14 you break-up a gap on the surface, a gap that only the powerful ones can run over:

15 you sew (mourning) sackcloth as though it is an act of uncovering horn/fund from the dust of the earth; 

16 - - with weeping faces as though, for the shadow of death but with daubed/clayed eyelids. 

17 - - with clean palm (of the hand) but your supplication/prayer is of violence;

18 - - with a loud-cry in places, as if it will cover up the blood on the land. 

19 as if only a witness in elevated place can testify (sawheed) for me in heaven. 

20 oh, the Extremely Mighty God (Eloahh eloah); friends scoff at me and my eyes are dripping (with tears)

21 What kind of friends are these sons of Adam! The Extremely Mighty ONE (Eloahh eloahh) must correct/convince these valiant-men, - 

22 - who had walked with me for a number of years, only for you to turn back as we arrived at this path.
