Context of Job 19:9
7Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice. 8He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness. He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. 10He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree. 11His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.
