Context of Job 19:5
3These ten times you have insulted me; You are not ashamed to wrong me. 4Even if I have truly erred, My error lodges with me. If indeed you vaunt yourselves against me And prove my disgrace to me, 6Know then that God has wronged me And has closed His net around me. 7“Behold, I cry, ‘Violence!’ but I get no answer; I shout for help, but there is no justice.
