You aren`t ashamed that you attack me. 19:4 If it is true that I have erred, My error remains with myself. 19:5 If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach; 19:6 Know now that God has subverted me, And has surrounded me with his net. 19:7 "Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice. 19:8 He has walled up my way so that I can`t pass, And has set darkness in my paths. 19:9 He has stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head. 19:10 He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. My hope he has plucked up like a tree. 19:11 He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries. 19:12 His troops come on together, Build a siege ramp against me, And encamp around my tent. 19:13 "He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me. 19:14 My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me. 19:15 Those who dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger. I am an alien in their sight. 19:16 I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer; I beg him with my mouth. 19:17 My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother. 19:18 Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me. 19:19 All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me. 19:20 My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth. 19:21 "Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends; For the hand of God has touched me. 19:22 Why do you persecute me as God, And are not satisfied with my flesh? 19:23 "Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book! 19:24 That with an iron pen and lead They were engraved in the rock forever! 19:25 But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth. 19:26 After my skin is destroyed, Then in my flesh shall I see God, 19:27 Whom I, even I, shall see on my side. My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. "My heart is consumed within me. 19:28 If you say, `How we will persecute him!` Because the root of the matter is found in me, 19:29 Be afraid of the sword, For wrath brings the punishments of the sword, That you may know there is a judgment."
