Context of Job 19:9
7If I shout, “Help me, I am in trouble!” nobody answers me. I shout to get help, but nobody comes to give me justice. 8God has stopped me so that I cannot move forward. He has made my path dark so that I cannot see the way to go. He has taken away my honour so that nobody respects me. 10Everywhere that I go, God is there to attack me. He is ready to destroy me. He has taken away my hope, as if he has dug a tree out of the ground. 11He is very angry against me. He attacks me as if I am his enemy.
