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.

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.”
