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 human being like I am, that I might answer him, that we might come together in judgment.

Even if he slays me, I will hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face!

and he contends with God on behalf of man as a man pleads for his friend.

O that I knew where I might find him, that I could come to his place of residence!

"If only I had someone to hear me! Here is my signature -- let the Almighty answer me! If only I had an indictment that my accuser had written.

For Job says, 'I am innocent, but God turns away my right.

Would you indeed annul my justice? Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?

Also, when I cry out desperately for help, he has shut out my prayer.
