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.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Job 16:12 in context
Job 16:9–15
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.
10
They have gaped on me with their mouth.
They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully.
They gather themselves together against me.
11
God delivers me to the ungodly,
and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12

I have sewed sackcloth on my skin,
and have thrust my horn in the dust.
