1. Then Job answered and said,
2. How long will you torment my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3. These ten times have you reproached me: you are not ashamed that you have wronged me.
4. And if indeed I have erred, my error remains with myself.
5. If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
6. Know now that God has overthrown me, and has compassed me with his net.
7. Behold, I cry out concerning wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no justice.
8. He has fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness in my paths.
9. He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
