Context of Job 19:10

8He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths. 9He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head. He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; And my hope hath he plucked up like a tree. 11He hath also kindled his wrath against me, And he counteth me unto him as one of his adversaries. 12His troops come on together, And cast up their way against me, And encamp round about my tent.
