Job 19:7

Context
Job’s Abandonment and Affliction

19:7 “If 1  I cry out, 2  ‘Violence!’ 3 

I receive no answer; 4 

I cry for help,

but there is no justice.

1 tn The particle is used here as in 9:11 (see GKC 497 §159.w).

2 tc The LXX has “I laugh at reproach.”

3 tn The same idea is expressed in Jer 20:8 and Hab 1:2. The cry is a cry for help, that he has been wronged, that there is no justice.

4 tn The Niphal is simply “I am not answered.” See Prov 21:13b.
