| Job 16:3 | Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer? | Shall words of wind have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest? | Shall windy words have no end? or is it any trouble to thee to speak? | May words which are like the wind be stopped? or what is troubling you to make answer to them? |
| Job 16:4 | I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul's place, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you. | I also could speak as ye: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join together words against you, and shake my head at you; | I also could speak like you: and would God your soul were for my soul. | It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you: |
| Job 16:5 | But I would strengthen you with my mouth. The solace of my lips would relieve you. | [But] I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage [your pain]. | I would comfort you also with words, and would wag my head over you. | I might give you strength with my mouth, and not keep back the comfort of my lips. |
| Job 16:6 | "Though I speak, my grief is not subsided.

| Job 16:7 | But now, God, you have surely worn me out. You have made desolate all my company. | But now he hath made me weary; ... thou hast made desolate all my family; | But what shall I do?

| Job 16:8 | You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me. My leanness rises up against me, It testifies to my face. | Thou hast shrivelled me up! it is become a witness; and my leanness riseth up against me, it beareth witness to my face. | But now my sorrow hath oppressed me, and all my limbs are brought to nothing. | It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face. |
| Job 16:9 | He has torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He has gnashed on me with his teeth: My adversary sharpens his eyes on me. | His anger teareth and pursueth me; he gnasheth with his teeth against me; [as] mine adversary he sharpeneth his eyes at me. | My wrinkles bear witness against me, and a false speaker riseth up against my face, contradicting me. | I am broken by his wrath, and his hate has gone after me; he has made his teeth sharp against me: my haters are looking on me with cruel eyes; |

| Job 16:12 | I was at ease, and he broke me apart. Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces. He has also set me up for his target. | I was at rest, but he hath shattered me; he hath taken me by the neck and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. | God hath shut me up with the unjust man, and hath delivered me into the hands of the wicked. | I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows. |
| Job 16:13 | His archers surround me. He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare. He pours out my gall on the ground. | His arrows encompass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. | I that was formerly so wealthy, am all on a sudden broken to pieces: he hath taken me by my neck, he hath broken me, and hath set me up to be his mark. | His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth. |

| Job 16:17 | Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure. | Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure. | My face is swollen with weeping, and my eyelids are dim. | Though my hands have done no violent acts, and my prayer is clean. |
