Job 16:13
His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
The verse pictures suffering as an assault by archers who surround the sufferer on every side. The attackers pierce his inward parts without sparing him, and his gall is poured out upon the ground. It stands in Job's reply to the accusations of Eliphaz, in which he protests his innocence and longs for death. It falls within the debate between Job and his three friends concerning his afflictions.
It belongs to Job's account of his severe suffering and losses, showing the bitterness that adversity can bring. It belongs as well to the book's inquiry into the cause and purpose of human suffering. Affliction does not prove that God is displeased with the sufferer, for adversity can come upon a righteous person. Suffering borne for God's sake and in trust in Him brings glory to God and good to the sufferer.
The verse is evidence that the dead go to hades and remain there until the resurrection.
