Good News Bible

Job 19:1-2-9 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.
