Context of Job 19:9
7“I cry out, ‘Help!’ but no one answers me. I protest, but there is no justice. 8God has blocked my way so I cannot move. He has plunged my path into darkness. He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head. 10He has demolished me on every side, and I am finished. He has uprooted my hope like a fallen tree. 11His fury burns against me; he counts me as an enemy.
