Job 16:12-14

Easy-to-Read Version

¹² I was enjoying a quiet, peaceful life,
    but then God crushed me.
Yes, he took me by the neck
    and broke me into pieces.
He has made me his target.
¹³     With his archers all around me,
he shoots arrows into my kidneys.
    He shows no mercy
    and spills my gall^[a] on the ground.
¹⁴ Again and again he attacks me.
    He runs at me like a soldier in battle.
