Context of Job 19:5
3These ten times have ye reproached me: Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me. 4And be it indeed that I have erred, Mine error remaineth with myself. If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach; 6Know now that God hath subverted me in my cause, And hath compassed me with his net. 7Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice.
