Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy;
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, And he counteth me unto him as one of his adversaries.
For Job hath said, I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right:
Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me;) And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
Thou art turned to be cruel to me: With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me.
He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
But now thou numberest my steps: Dost thou not watch over my sin?
For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
I shall be condemned; Why then do I labour in vain?
