Job 19:7

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him,
that we can take each other to court.

Even if He kills me, I will hope in Him.
I will still defend my ways before Him.

I wish that someone might arbitrate
between a man and God
just as a man pleads for his friend.

If only I knew how to find Him,
so that I could go to His throne.

If only I had someone to hear my case!
Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me.
Let my Opponent compose His indictment.

For Job has declared, “I am righteous,
yet God has deprived me of justice.

Would you really challenge My justice?
Would you declare Me guilty to justify yourself?

Even when I cry out and plead for help,
He rejects my prayer.
