Job 19:7-12

New Century Version

⁷ “I shout, ‘I have been wronged!’
    But I get no answer.
I scream for help
    but I get no justice.
⁸ God has blocked my way so I cannot pass;
    he has covered my paths with darkness.
⁹ He has taken away my honor
    and removed the crown from my head.
¹⁰ He beats me down on every side until I am gone;
    he destroys my hope like a fallen tree.
¹¹ His anger burns against me,
    and he treats me like an enemy.
¹² His armies gather;
    they prepare to attack me.
    They camp around my tent.
