And be it indeed that I have erred, Mine error remaineth with myself.

He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.

How long will ye vex my soul, And break me in pieces with words?

I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, `Though' I entreat him with my mouth.

Then Job answered and said,

My breath is strange to my wife, And my supplication to the children of mine own mother.

He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; And my hope hath he plucked up like a tree.

His troops come on together, And cast up their way against me, And encamp round about my tent.

He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths.

My kinsfolk have failed, And my familiar friends have forgotten me.

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice.

Even young children despise me; If I arise, they speak against me.

He hath also kindled his wrath against me, And he counteth me unto him as `one of' his adversaries.

If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach;

He hath put my brethren far from me, And mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.

They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.

Be ye afraid of the sword: For wrath `bringeth' the punishments of the sword, That ye may know there is a judgment.

Know now that God hath subverted me `in my cause', And hath compassed me with his net.

These ten times have ye reproached me: Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me.
