Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

Job 19
⁵ You think you’re better than I am, using my humiliation as evidence of my sin.
⁶ But it is God who has wronged me, capturing me in his net.
⁷ “I cry out, ‘Help!’ but no one answers me. I protest, but there is no justice.
⁸ God has blocked my way so I cannot move. He has plunged my path into darkness.
⁹ He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
¹⁰ He has demolished me on every side, and I am finished. He has uprooted my hope like a fallen tree.
¹¹ His fury burns against me; he counts me as an enemy.
¹² His troops advance. They build up roads to attack me. They camp all around my tent.
¹³ “My relatives stay far away, and my friends have turned against me.
¹⁴ My family is gone, and my close friends have forgotten me.
¹⁵ My servants and maids consider me a stranger. I am like a foreigner to them.
