Job 16:9

His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.

Job 16:9 · BSB

Job 16:9 in context

The verses around it, from Job 16.

5 But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the consolation of my lips would bring relief.

6 Even if I speak, my pain is not relieved, and if I hold back, how will it go away?

7 Surely He has now exhausted me; You have devastated all my family.

8 You have bound me, and it has become a witness; my frailty rises up and testifies against me.

9 His anger has torn me and opposed me; He gnashes His teeth at me. My adversary pierces me with His eyes.

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.
