Job 16:8

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.

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.
