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