Context of Job 19:5
3Ten times now you have reproached me; you shamelessly mistreat me. 4Even if I have truly gone astray, my error concerns me alone. If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me, 6then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me. 7Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.
