Job 16:9-11

Job 16:9-11 King James Version (KJV)

9 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

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

11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.



Job 16:9-11 Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

9 His anger tears at me, and he harasses me.

He gnashes his teeth at me.

My enemy pierces me with his eyes.

10 They open their mouths against me

and strike my cheeks with contempt;

they join themselves together against me.

11 God hands me over to the unjust;

he throws me to the wicked.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.



9 God does not ever hate people but does hate the sin they commit and that they choose the bondage of sin and He in His justice will one day judge them for their sin if they don’t come to the forgiveness found thru the grace of Jesus.



10 The people were mocking Job, the friends that had come to comfort him were showing that he was being mocked as they did this and hurt him even more.



11 Job understood what was happening and was not going to admit he had unconfessed sins or that he deserved what happened to him but that he was around an evil crowd that would curse God if troubles came into their own life.
