Job 35:9

¶ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

By reason of the multitude {H7230} of oppressions {H6217} they make the oppressed to cry {H2199}: they cry out {H7768} by reason of the arm {H2220} of the mighty {H7227}.

People cry out from under many oppressions; they cry for help from under the fist of the mighty.

Men cry out under great oppression; they plead for relief from the arm of the mighty.

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.
