Job 16:15 Context
13His archers compasse me round about, he cleaueth my reines asunder, and doeth not spare; he powreth out my gall vpon the ground. 14He breaketh me with breach vpon breach, he runneth vpon me like a giant. 15I haue sowed sackcloth vpon my skin, and defiled my horne in the dust. 16My face is fowle with weeping, and on mine eye-lids is the shadow of death; 17Not for any iniustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.

Wesley's Notes for Job 16:15
16:15 I have - So far am I from stretching out my hand against God, chap.#15:25|, that I have humbled myself deeply under his hand. I have not only put on sackcloth, but sewed it on, as being resolved to continue my humiliation, as long as my affliction continues. Defiled my horn - I have willingly parted with all my wealth, and power, and glory (as the horn often signifies in scripture,) and been content to lie in the dust.
