Context of Job 19:9
7Indeed, I cry, ‘Help! I’m being attacked!’ but I get no response. I call for help, but there is no justice. 8“God has blocked my path so that I can’t go on. He has made my paths dark. He has stripped me of my honor. He has taken the crown off my head. 10He beats me down on every side until I’m gone. He uproots my hope like a tree. 11He is very angry at me. He considers me to be his enemy.
