Job 19:9
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.
He has stripped me of my honor and removed the crown from my head.
10 He tears me down on every side until I am gone; He uproots my hope like a tree.
11 His anger burns against me, and He counts me among His enemies.
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.
