Job 19:10

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost. And he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.

See the chapter Copy

Let mercy forget him: may worms be his sweetness. Let him be remembered no more, but be broken in pieces as an unfruitful tree.

If he pull down, there is no man that can build up. If he shut up a man, there is none that can open.

For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.

Where is now then my expectation: and who considereth my patience?

My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.

My days have passed more swiftly than the web is cut by the weaver, and are consumed without any hope.

For what is my strength, that I can hold out? Or what is my end that I should keep patience?

So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord, and struck Job with a very grievous ulcer, from the sole of the foot even to the top of his head.

Waters wear away the stones: and with inundation the ground by little and little is washed away. So in like manner thou shalt destroy man.
