job 16:12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.

job 16:12 "I was at ease, but He shattered me, And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His target.

12. I was at ease--in past times (Job 1:1-3).
by my neck--as an animal does its prey (so Job 10:16).
shaken--violently; in contrast to his former "ease" (Ps 102:10). Set me up (again).
mark-- (Job 7:20; La 3:12). God lets me always recover strength, so as to torment me ceaselessly.

job 16:12 "I was at ease, but He shattered me, And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His target.
