Context of Job 19:9
7Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice. 8He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths. He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head. 10He 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.
