1. But Job answered by saying:
2. How long will you afflict my soul and wear me down with words?
3. So, ten times you confound me and are not ashamed to oppress me.
4. Now, of course, if I have been ignorant, my ignorance will be with me.
5. But you have risen up against me, and you accuse me to my disgrace.
6. At least now you should understand that God has not afflicted me with a balanced judgment, though he has encompassed me with his scourges.
7. Behold, I will cry out, enduring violence, and no one will hear. I will announce loudly, but there is no one who may judge.
8. He has hemmed in my path, and I cannot pass; he has added darkness to my difficult path.
9. He has plundered me of my glory, and he has stolen the crown from my head.
