Contextual Overview

1 Iob aunswered, and saide: 2 How long wyll ye vexe my soule, and trouble me with wordes? 3 Lo, ten times haue ye reproched me, and are not ashamed, but haue laughed me to scorne. 4 Be it that I haue erred in deede, myne errour then remaineth with my selfe. 5 But if ye wyll aduaunce your selues against me, and rebuke me for the shame that is come vpon me: 6 Know this then, that it is God which hath ouerthrowe me, and hath compassed me with his net. 7 If I complaine of the violence that is done vnto me, I cannot be heard: and if I crye, there is no sentence geuen with me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, I cry out of wrong,.... Or of "violence" m, or injury done him by the Sabeans and Chaldeans upon his substance, and by Satan upon his health; this he cried out and complained of in prayer to God, and of it as it were in open court, as a violation of justice, and as being dealt very unjustly with:

but I am not heard; his prayer was not heard; he could get no relief, nor any redress of his grievances, nor any knowledge of the reasons of his being thus used; see Habakkuk 1:2;

I cry aloud, but [there is] no judgment; notwithstanding his vehement and importunate requests; and which were repeated time after time, that there might be a hearing of his cause; that it might be searched into and tried, that his innocence might be cleared, and justice done him, and vengeance taken on those that wronged him; but he could not obtain it; there was no time appointed for judgment, no court of judicature set, nor any to judge. Now seeing this was the case, that the hand of God was in all his afflictions; that he had complained to him of the injury done him; and that he had most earnestly desired his cause might be heard, and the reasons given why he was thus used, but could get no answer to all this; therefore it became them to be cautious and careful of what they said concerning the dealings of God with him, and to what account they placed them; of which he gives a particular enumeration in the following verses.

m חמס "violentiam", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, &c. "injuriam", Montanus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Behold, I cry out of wrong - Margin, or “violence.” The Hebrew word (חמס châmâs) means properly violence. The violence referred to is that which was brought upon him by God. It is, indeed, harsh language; but it is not quite sure that he means to complain of God for doing him injustice. God had dealt with him in a severe or violent manner, is the meaning, and he had cried unto him for relief, but had cried in vain.

No judgment - No justice. The meaning is, that he could obtain justice from no one God would not interpose to remove the calamities which he had brought upon him, and his friends would do no justice to his motives and character.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 19:7. I cry out of wrong — I complain of violence and of injustice; but no one comes to my help.
