## Job 16:11-21 in Context (Verses 8–22 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/job/16/8) And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, *which* is a witness *against me:* and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/job/16/9) He teareth *me* in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/job/16/10) They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/job/16/11) God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/job/16/12) I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken *me* by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/job/16/13) His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/job/16/14) He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/job/16/15) I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/job/16/16) My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids *is* the shadow of death;
 
 [17 ](/kjv/job/16/17) Not for *any* injustice in mine hands: also my prayer *is* pure.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/job/16/18) O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/job/16/19) Also now, behold, my witness *is* in heaven, and my record *is* on high.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/job/16/20) My friends scorn me: *but* mine eye poureth out *tears* unto God.*
 
 [21 ](/kjv/job/16/21) O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man *pleadeth* for his neighbour!*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/job/16/22) When a few years are come, then I shall go the way *whence* I shall not return.*
 
[Job 15](/kjv/job/15) [Job 17](/kjv/job/17)
