Bible verse
Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty.
Job 35:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 35.
5 Look to the heavens and see; gaze at the clouds high above you.
6 If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? If you multiply your transgressions, what do you do to Him?
7 If you are righteous, what do you give Him, or what does He receive from your hand?
8 Your wickedness affects only a man like yourself, and your righteousness only a son of man.
9 Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty.
10 But no one asks, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives us songs in the night,
11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the air?’
12 There they cry out, but He does not answer, because of the pride of evil men.
13 Surely God does not listen to empty pleas, and the Almighty does not take note of it.
