Job 19

¹Bvt Iob answered, and said,

²Howe long will yee vexe my soule, and torment me with wordes?

³Ye haue now ten times reproched me, and are not ashamed: ye are impudent toward mee.

⁴And though I had in deede erred, mine errour remaineth with me.

⁵But in deede if ye will aduance your selues against me, and rebuke me for my reproche,

⁶Know nowe, that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.

⁷Beholde, I crie out of violence, but I haue none answere: I crie, but there is no iudgement.

⁸Hee hath hedged vp my way that I cannot passe, and he hath set darkenesse in my paths.

⁹Hee hath spoyled mee of mine honour, and taken the crowne away from mine head.

¹⁰He hath destroyed mee on euery side and I am gone: and he hath remoued mine hope like a tree.

¹¹And he hath kindled his wrath against me, and counteth mee as one of his enemies.

¹²His armies came together, and made their way vpon me, and camped about my tabernacle.

¹³He hath remooued my brethre farre from me, and also mine acquaintance were strangers vnto me.

¹⁴My neighbours haue forsaken me, and my familiars haue forgotten me.

¹⁵They that dwel in mine house, and my maydes tooke me for a stranger: for I was a stranger in their sight.
