Job 16:11
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.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
