Job 16:6-8
Evangelical Heritage Version

6 Now if I speak up, it does not lessen my pain,
and if I hold back, how much of my pain goes away?

7 Surely, he[a] has worn me out!
You have devastated everyone close to me.
8 You have made me shrivel up,[b]
and this testifies against me.
My emaciated body stands up
and is a witness against me.
