Jób 16, 1-22

1 Then Job answered and said, 2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. 3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? 4 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you. 5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief. 6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: 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 filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face. 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. 12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. 13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. 14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. 15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. 16 My face is foul with weeping, and my eyelids is the shadow of death; 17 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. 18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. 19 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high. 20 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. 21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! 22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

Job 16,8 - Veľmi ťažký, azda porušený text.

Job 16,9-10 - Ako si počínajú divé zvery a šelmy proti svojej úbohej koristi, tak kruto si počínajú aj Jóbovi priatelia proti svojmu niekdajšiemu vernému druhovi. Miesto pravej a úprimnej potechy nemilosrdne ho sužujú, keď mu siahajú na posledné, čo mu zostalo po toľkých stratách majetku a zdravia: na jeho nevinnosť a čestné meno.

Job 16,15 - "Žínenka" znamená smútočné rúcho, ušité z vrecoviny, ktoré nosili na holom tele (preto hovorí Jób: "ušil som si ju na kožu").

Job 16,18 - Vyliata krv volala o pomstu. Preto si Jób žiada, aby ju zem nepokryla. Jóbova krv má vznášať žaloby za všetky jeho telesné a duševné útrapy. Taká nevinne vyliata krv volala podľa predstavy tamojších ľudí k Bohu o pomstu (Gn 4,10; Iz 26,21), kým ju nezakryjú, t. j. kým ju nevypomstia. V tých krajoch vládlo prísne ustanovenie o krvnej pomste podľa zásady: Život za život, zub za zub! Dokiaľ zavraždený človek nebol pomstený smrťou samého vraha, mŕtvola nevinne zavraždeného nebola "prikrytá", nemala nárok na pravé spočinutie.
