Job 19:7-12
English Standard Version
7 Behold, I (A)cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered;
I call for help, but there is no justice.
8 He has (B)walled up my way, so that I cannot pass,
and he has set darkness upon my paths.
9 He has (C)stripped from me my glory
and taken the (D)crown from my head.
10 He breaks me down on every side, and I (E)am gone,
and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.
11 He has kindled his wrath against me
and (F)counts me as his adversary.
12 His (G)troops come on together;
they have (H)cast up their siege ramp[a] against me
and encamp around my tent.

God’s treatment of Job
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.
