Summary

Job 16:8 (ESV)

8 And he has shriveled me up, which is a witness against me, and my leanness has risen up against me; it testifies to my face.

Worst of all, God has brought in a public witness against Job. This witness is Job’s own body. His awful disease is a sign to others that he had sinned.
