Job 19:7-12

International Children’s Bible

⁷ “I shout, ‘I have been wronged!’
    But I get no answer.
I call loudly for help,
    but I receive no justice.
⁸ God has blocked my way so I cannot pass.
    He has covered my paths with darkness.
⁹ He has taken away my honor.
    He has removed the crown from my head.
¹⁰ He beats me down on every side until I am gone.
    He pulls up my hope as a tree is pulled up by its roots.
¹¹ His anger burns against me.
    And he treats me as one of his enemies.
¹² His armies gather.
    They prepare a way to attack me.
    They camp around my tent.
