Job 19:8 in Context — Job 19

6 Sabed ahora que Dios me ha trastornado, y traído en derredor su red sobre mí.

7 He aquí yo clamaré agravio, y no seré oído: daré voces, y no habrá juicio.

8 Cercó de vallado mi camino, y no pasaré; y sobre mis veredas puso tinieblas.

9 Hame despojado de mi gloria, y quitado la corona de mi cabeza.

10 Arruinóme por todos lados, y perezco; y ha hecho pasar mi esperanza como árbol [arrancado].
