Job 19
Reading Job chapter 19 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 Then Job answered,
2 “How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
3 You have reproached me ten times. You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.
4 If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
5 If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,
6 know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
7 “Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.
8 He has walled up my way so that I can’t pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
9 He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. He has plucked my hope up like a tree.
