Job 16:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² I was living in peace,
    but God took me by the throat
    and battered me and crushed me.
God uses me for target practice
¹³     and shoots arrows at me from every side—
    arrows that pierce and wound me;
    and even then he shows no pity.
¹⁴ He wounds me again and again;
    he attacks like a soldier gone mad with hate.
