Job 16:15

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

Job 16:15 · BSB

Job 16:15 in context

The verses around it, from Job 16.

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.

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.

18 O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.

19 Even now my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
