Job Accuses God of Being Angry

“Although I cried out ‘Violence!’
    I received no answer;
I cried for help,
    but there was no justice.
He blocked my path,
    so I cannot pass;
        and he turned out the lights on my pathways.

“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.”
