Good News Bible

Job 19:1-2-11 Good News Bible (GNB)

1-2. Why do you keep tormenting me with words?

3. Time after time you insult meand show no shame for the way you abuse me.

4. Even if I have done wrong,how does that hurt you?

5. You think you are better than I am,and regard my troubles as proof of my guilt.

6. Can't you see it is God who has done this?He has set a trap to catch me.

7. I protest against his violence,but no one is listening;no one hears my cry for justice.

8. God has blocked the way, and I can't get through;he has hidden my path in darkness.

9. He has taken away all my wealthand destroyed my reputation.

10. He batters me from every side.He uproots my hopeand leaves me to wither and die.

11. God is angry and rages against me;he treats me like his worst enemy.
