Job 16:13

Suffering

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;

His archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and spills my gall on the ground.

14 He breaks me with wound upon wound; He rushes me like a mighty warrior.

15 I have sewn sackcloth over my skin; I have buried my horn in the dust.
