Job 19:7-12
New American Standard Bible
Everything Is Against Him
7 “Behold, (A)I cry, ‘Violence!’ but I get no answer;
I shout for help, but there is no justice.
8 He has (B)blocked my way so that I cannot pass,
And He has put (C)darkness on my paths.
9 He has (D)stripped my honor from me
And removed the (E)crown from my head.
10 He (F)breaks me down on every side, and I am gone;
And He has uprooted my (G)hope (H)like a tree.
11 He has also (I)kindled His anger against me
And (J)considered me as His enemy.
12 His (K)troops come together
And (L)build up their [a]way against me
And camp 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.”
