5 If indeed you magnify yourselves against me

and make my disgrace an argument against me,

6 know then that God has put me in the wrong

and closed his net about me.

5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me,

And plead against me my reproach:

6 Know now that God hath overthrown me,

And hath compassed me with his net.

5 You think you’re better than I am,

using my humiliation as evidence of my sin.

6 But it is God who has wronged me,

capturing me in his net.

5 If indeed you exalt yourselves against me,

And plead my disgrace against me,

6 Know then that God has wronged me,

And has surrounded me with His net.

5 If you want to make yourselves look better than I,

you can blame me for my suffering.

6 Then know that God has wronged me

and pulled his net around me.

5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me,

And plead against me my reproach;

6 Know now that God hath subverted me in my cause,

And hath compassed me with his net.

5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach, 6 Know now that †God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.

5 If you are trying to make yourselves look better than me 

by using my disgrace as an argument against me, 

6 then I want you to know that God has wronged me 

and surrounded me with his net. 

5 If you really want to appear superior to me

and would use my disgrace as evidence against me,

6 then understand that it is God who has wronged me

and caught me in His net.

5 If indeed you magnify yourselves against me,

and make my humiliation an argument against me,

6 know then that God has put me in the wrong,

and closed his net around me.

5 If indeed you must magnify yourselves against me,

and you must let my disgrace argue against me,

6 know then that God has wronged me

and has surrounded me with his net.

5 Suppose you want to place yourselves above me.

Suppose you want to use my shame to prove I’m wrong.

6 Then I want you to know that God hasn’t treated me right.

In fact, he has captured me in his net.

5 “If indeed you vaunt yourselves against me

And prove my disgrace to me,

6 Know then that God has wronged me

And has closed His net around me.
