Then Job answered and said, “How long will ye vex my soul and break me in
pieces with words? These ten times have you reproached me; are you not ashamed
that you make yourselves strange to me? And be it indeed that that I have erred
my error remaineth with myself. If indeed ye will magnify against me and plead against
me my reproach. Know not that God hath overthrown me and hath compassed me with
his net? Behold, I cry out of wrong but I am not heard. I cry aloud but there
is no judgment. He has fenced up my way that I cannot pass; and he hath and has
set darkness into my paths. He hath stripped me of my glory and taken the crown
from me head. He hath destroyed me on every side. And I am gone and mine hope
has he removed like a tree. He hath also kindles his wrath against and he counteth
me unto him as one of his enemies. His troops come together and raise up their
way against me. And encamp round about my tabernacle. He hath put my brethren
far from me and my acquaintances are very estranged from me. My kinfolk have
failed and my family friends have forgotten me. They that dwell in mine house
and my maids count me for a stranger; I am an alien in their sight [to be
