Bible in Basic English
"Truly, I make an outcry against the violent man, but there is no answer: I give a cry for help, but no one takes up my cause."
— Job 19:7, Bible in Basic English
“"Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.”
And, truly, if I have been in error, the effect of my error is only on myself.
If you make yourselves great against me, using my punishment as an argument against me,
Be certain that it is God who has done me wrong, and has taken me in his net.
Truly, I make an outcry against the violent man, but there is no answer: I give a cry for help, but no one takes up my cause.
My way is walled up by him so that I may not go by: he has made my roads dark.
He has put off my glory from me, and taken the crown from my head.
I am broken down by him on every side, and I am gone; my hope is uprooted like a tree.
