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, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in trial.

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will defend my own ways before him.

O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleads for his neighbor!

Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that my adversary had written a book.

For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my justice.

Will you also annul my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?

Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer.
