New Testament

Job 16:5-10 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.

6. Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased?

7. But now he hath made me weary: Thou hast made desolate all my company.

8. And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me: And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face.

9. He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

10. They have gaped upon me with their mouth; They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully: They gather themselves together against me.
