Job 30:11

The Scriptures 1998

Because He has loosed my bowstring and afflicted me, they have thrown off restraint in my presence.

See the chapter Copy

pouring scorn on nobles, and loosens the girdle of the strong;

He loosens the bonds of sovereigns, and binds a girdle on their loins;

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is worthless.

And they open their mouth wide against me, They said, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it.”

Do not be like the horse, like the mule, With no understanding, with bit and bridle, Else they do not come near you.”

“I went out filled, and יהוה has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naʽ

Your wrath has rested heavily upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your breakers. Selah.
