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 deal hardly with 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 subverted me in my cause, And hath compassed me with his net.
7. Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice.
8. He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths.
9. He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.
