Context of Job 19:5
3Ten times now you have reproached me; you attack me shamelessly. 4But even if it is true that I have erred, my error remains with me. If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and prove my humiliation against me, 6then know that God has wronged me and encircled me with His net. 7“Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response. I cry for help, but there is no justice.
