Job 16
- 1 Then Job answered and said,
- 2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are you all.
- 3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldens you that you answer?
- 4 I also could speak as you do: if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you.
- 5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief.
- 6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
- 7 But now he has made me weary: you have made desolate all my company.
- 8 And you have filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me bears witness to my face.
- 9 He tears me in his wrath, who hates me: he gnashes on me with his teeth; my enemy sharpens his eyes on me.
- 10 They have gaped on me with their mouth; they have smitten me on the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
- 11 God has delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
- 12 I was at ease, but he has broken me asunder: he has also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
- 13 His archers compass me round about, he splits my reins asunder, and does not spare; he pours out my gall on the ground.
- 14 He breaks me with breach on breach, he runs on me like a giant.
- 15 I have sewed sackcloth on my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
- 16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
- 17 Not for any injustice in my hands: also my prayer is pure.
- 18 O earth, cover not you my blood, and let my cry have no place.
- 19 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
- 20 My friends scorn me: but my eye pours out tears to God.
- 21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleads for his neighbor!
- 22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way from where I shall not return.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
