Job 19:7-12

Common English Bible

⁷ If I cry “Violence!” I’m not answered;
    I shout—but there is no justice.
⁸ He walled up my path so I can’t pass
        and put darkness on my trail,
⁹     stripped my honor from me,
        removed the crown from my head,
¹⁰     tore me down completely so that I’ll die, and uprooted my hope like a tree.
¹¹ His anger burns against me;
    he considers me his enemy.
¹² His troops come as one
    and construct their siege ramp^[a] against me;
    they camp around my tent.
