1. Job said:
2. How long will you torture mewith your words?
3. Isn't ten times enoughfor you to accuse me?Aren't you ashamed?
4. Even if I have sinned,you haven't been harmed.
5. You boast of your goodness,claiming I am sufferingbecause I am guilty.
6. But God is the one at faultfor finding fault with me.
7. Though I pray to be rescuedfrom this torment,no whisper of justiceanswers me.
8. God has me trappedwith a wall of darkness
9. and stripped of respect.
10. God rips me apart,uproots my hopes,
11. and attacks with fierce anger,as though I were his enemy.
12. His entire army advances,then surrounds my tent.
13-14. God has turned relativesand friends against me,and I am forgotten.
