Job 19:6

DoubtSuffering

4 Even if I have truly gone astray, my error concerns me alone.

5 If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me and use my disgrace against me,

then understand that it is God who has wronged me and drawn His net around me.

7 Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response; though I call for help, there is no justice.

8 He has blocked my way so I cannot pass; He has veiled my paths with darkness.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
