18:019:007 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 18:019:008 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. 18:019:009 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. 18:019:010 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. 18:019:011 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. 18:019:012 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. 18:019:013 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 18:019:014 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 18:019:015 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 18:019:016 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. 18:019:017 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body. 18:019:018 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. 18:019:019 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. 18:019:020 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. 18:019:021 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. 18:019:022 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? 18:019:023 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! 18:019:024 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! 18:019:025 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 18:019:026 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 18:019:027 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. 18:019:028 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me? 18:019:029 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment. 18:020:001 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said, 18:020:002 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste. 18:020:003 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer. 18:020:004 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth, 18:020:005 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
