1. And Job replied and said,
2. How long will ye anguish my soul and break me in pieces with words?
3. These ten times ye have reproached me; are ye not ashamed to make yourselves strange to me?
4. And if indeed I have erred, my error shall remain with me.
5. If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me and reprove me of my reproach,
6. know now that God has overthrown me and has compassed me with his net.
7. Behold, I shall cry out that I have been wronged, and I shall not be heard; I shall cry aloud, and there shall be no judgment.
8. He has walled off my way and I shall not pass, and he has set darkness in my paths.
9. He has stripped me of my glory and taken the crown from my head.
10. He has pulled me up on every side, and I am dried up; he has caused my hope to pass like an uprooted tree.
