Job 16

Job responds to Eliphaz with weariness, calling his friends "miserable comforters" who only increase his pain with their endless arguments. Job describes his physical and emotional torment, feeling that God has torn him, gnashed him with teeth, and made him a spectacle for the world. He describes himself as a punching bag for God and his enemies. Job calls upon heaven to bear witness to his innocence and reaffirms his desire to bring his case before God, trusting that his "Witness is in heaven" and his "Advocate is on high."
