Job 19:4-17 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

4. And what is more, if I have truly erred, my error remains with me.

5. If indeed you must magnify yourselves against me, and you must let my disgrace argue against me,

6. know then that God has wronged me and has surrounded me with his net.

7. “Look, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered; I cry out, but there is no justice.

8. He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass; and he has set darkness upon my paths.

9. He has taken my glory from me, and he has removed the crown of my head.

10. He has broken me down all around, and I am gone. And he has uprooted my hope like a tree,

11. and he has kindled his wrath against me, and he has counted me as one of his foes.

12. His troops have come together and have thrown up their rampart against me and have encamped around my tent.

13. “He has removed my kinsfolk from me, and my acquaintances have only turned aside from me.

14. My relatives have failed, and my close friends have forgotten me.

15. The sojourners in my house and my slave women count me as a stranger; I have become a foreigner in their eyes.

16. I call to my servant, but he does not answer; I must personally plead with him.

17. My breath is repulsive to my wife, and I am loathsome to my own family.
