Job chapter 19

Then Job answered and said,

These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.

If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.

He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.

They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.

All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.

Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
