His archers surround me all around

Job speaks of himself being the focus of God's attacks as if God has set him up as a target and God had archers surrounding him to attack him. Alternate translation: "It is as though his archers have me surrounded" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)

God pierces my kidneys and does not spare me; he pours out my bile on the ground

Alternate translation: "It feels like God's arrows have pierced my kidneys and my liver, spilling my bile on the ground. He does not spare me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
