Job 19:9

Read in context

Job 19:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.

8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness.

9 He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.

10 He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree.

11 His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.
