Job 19:1-12

English Standard Version

² “How long will you torment me
    and break me in pieces with words?
³ These ^(A)ten times you have cast reproach upon me;
    are you not ashamed to wrong me?
⁴ And even if it be true that I have erred,
    my error remains with myself.
⁵ If indeed you ^(B)magnify yourselves against me
    and make my disgrace an argument against me,
⁶ know then that God has ^(C)put me in the wrong
    and closed his net about me.
⁷ Behold, I ^(D)cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered;
    I call for help, but there is no justice.
⁸ He has ^(E)walled up my way, so that I cannot pass,
    and he has set darkness upon my paths.
⁹ He has ^(F)stripped from me my glory
    and taken the ^(G)crown from my head.
¹⁰ He breaks me down on every side, and I ^(H)am gone,
    and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.
¹¹ He has kindled his wrath against me
    and ^(I)counts me as his adversary.
¹² His ^(J)troops come on together;
    they have ^(K)cast up their siege ramp^[a] against me
    and encamp around my tent.
