Job 19:7-12
Christian Standard Bible
7 I cry out, “Violence!” but get no response;(A)
I call for help, but there is no justice.
8 He has blocked(B) my way so that I cannot pass through;
he has veiled my paths with darkness.(C)
9 He has stripped me of my honor
and removed the crown from my head.
10 He tears me down on every side so that I am ruined.[a]
He uproots my hope like a tree.(D)
11 His anger(E) burns against me,
and he regards me as one of his enemies.(F)
12 His troops advance together;
they construct a ramp[b] against me
and camp(G) around my tent.
Job 19:7-12
International Standard Version
Job Accuses God of Being Angry
7 “Although I cried out ‘Violence!’
I received no answer;
I cried for help,
but there was no justice.
8 He blocked my path,
so I cannot pass;
and he turned out the lights on my pathways.
9 “He has stripped me of my honor;
he has stolen the crown off my head!
10 He is breaking me down on every side,
and now it’s too late for me;[a]
he has uprooted my hopes like a tree.
11 His anger burns against me;
he regards me as his adversary.
12 His troops march[b] in a column[c] against me,
erecting their siege ramps against me;
they surround my tent.”
