Top Verses Profile for Job 19:7  

1 Then Job replied: 2 "How long will you torment me and crush me with words?" 3 Ten times now you have reproached me; shamelessly you attack me. 4 If it is true that I have gone astray, my error remains my concern alone. 5 If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my humiliation against me 6 Then know that God has wronged me and drawn his net around me. 7 "Though I cry, '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 shrouded my paths in darkness. 9 He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. 10 He tears me down on every side till I am gone; he uproots my hope like a tree. 11 His anger burns against me; he counts me among his enemies. 12 His troops advance in force; they build a siege ramp against me and encamp around my tent. 13 "He has alienated my family from me; my acquaintances are completely estranged from me." 14 My relatives have gone away; my friends have forgotten me. 15 My guests and my female servants count me a foreigner; they look on me as on a stranger. (NIV)

1 THEN JOB answered: 2 How long will you vex and torment me and break me in pieces with words? 3 These ten times you have reproached me; you are not ashamed that you make yourselves strange [harden yourselves against me and deal severely with me]. 4 And if it were true that I have erred, my error would remain with me [I would be conscious of it]. 5 If indeed you magnify yourselves against me and plead against me my reproach and humiliation 6 Know that God has overthrown and put me in the wrong and has closed His net about me. 7 Behold, I cry out, Violence! but I am not heard; I cry aloud for help, 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 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; my hope has He pulled up like a tree. 11 He has also kindled His wrath against me, and He counts me as one of His adversaries. 12 His troops come together and cast up their way and siege works against me and encamp round about my tent. 13 He has put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me. 14 My kinsfolk have failed me, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 15 Those who live temporarily in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight. (AMP)

1 Then Job answered and said, 2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? 3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me. 4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. 5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: 6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. 7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. 9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. 10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. 11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. 12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. 13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
