Job 19:5-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 19
5If indeed you exalt yourselves against me And prove my disgrace to me, 6Know then that God has wronged me And has surrounded me with His net. 7'Behold, I cry, ‘Violence!’ but I get no answer; I shout for help, but there is no justice. 8He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass, And He has put darkness on my paths. 9He has stripped my honor from me And removed the crown from my head. 10He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree. 11He has also kindled His anger against me And considered me as His enemy. 12His troops come together And build up their way against me And camp around my tent.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 19
5If you really want to appear superior to me and would use my disgrace as evidence against me, 6then understand that it is God who has wronged me and caught me in his net. 7I cry out: "Violence!" but get no response; I call for help, but there is no justice. 8He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass through; he has veiled my paths with darkness. 9He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. 10He tears me down on every side so that I am ruined. He uproots my hope like a tree. 11His anger burns against me, and he regards me as one of his enemies. 12His troops advance together; they construct a ramp against me and camp around my tent.New Living Translation
Chapter 19
5You think you’re better than I am, using my humiliation as evidence of my sin. 6But it is God who has wronged me, capturing me in his net.
7'I cry out, ‘Help!’ but no one answers me. I protest, but there is no justice.
8God has blocked my way so I cannot move. He has plunged my path into darkness.
9He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
10He has demolished me on every side, and I am finished. He has uprooted my hope like a fallen tree.
11His fury burns against me; he counts me as an enemy.
12His troops advance. They build up roads to attack me. They camp all around my tent.
English Standard Version
Chapter 19
5If indeed you magnify yourselves against me and make my disgrace an argument against me, 6know then that God has put me in the wrong and closed his net about me. 7Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not answered; I call for help, but there is no justice. 8He has walled up my way, so that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness upon my paths. 9He has stripped from me my glory and taken the crown from my head. 10He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone, and my hope has he pulled up like a tree. 11He has kindled his wrath against me and counts me as his adversary. 12His troops come on together; they have cast up their siege ramp against me and encamp around my tent.New International Version
6then 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.
8He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; he has shrouded my paths in darkness.
9He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
10He tears me down on every side till I am gone; he uproots my hope like a tree.
11His anger burns against me; he counts me among his enemies.
