Then Job answered and said:
2
"How long will you torment my soul, And break me in pieces with words?
3
These ten times you have reproached me; You are not ashamed that you have wronged me.
4
And if indeed I have erred, My error remains with me.
5
If indeed you exalt yourselves against me, And plead my disgrace against me,
6
Know then that God has wronged me, And has surrounded me with His net.
7
"If I cry out concerning wrong, I am not heard. If I cry aloud, there is no justice.
8
He has fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass; And He has set darkness in my paths.
9
He has stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.
10
He breaks me down on every side, And I am gone; My hope He has uprooted like a tree.
