Job 19:7-12
Holman 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
Common English Bible
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.
