Bible verse
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
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.
