Job 19:2–6

“How long will you torment me

and break me in pieces with words?

These ten times you have cast reproach upon me;

are you not ashamed to wrong me?

And even if it be true that I have erred,

my error remains with myself.

If indeed you magnify yourselves against me

and make my disgrace an argument against me,

know then that God has put me in the wrong

and closed his net about me.

“How long will you torment me

and crush me with words?

Ten times now you have reproached me;

shamelessly you attack me.

If it is true that I have gone astray,

my error remains my concern alone.

If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me

and use my humiliation against me,

then know that God has wronged me

and drawn his net around me.

How long will you torment me and crush me with words?

You have humiliated me ten times now,

and you mistreat me without shame.

Even if it is true that I have sinned,

my mistake concerns only me.

If you really want to appear superior to me

and would use my disgrace as evidence against me,

then understand that it is God who has wronged me

and caught me in his net.

“How long will you torture me?

How long will you try to crush me with your words?

You have already insulted me ten times.

You should be ashamed of treating me so badly.

Even if I have sinned,

that is my concern, not yours.

You think you’re better than I am,

using my humiliation as evidence of my sin.

But it is God who has wronged me,

capturing me in his net.

“How long will you torment me

and crush me with words?

These ten times you have disgraced me;

you are not ashamed that you have attacked me.

And what is more, if I have truly erred,

my error remains with me.

If indeed you must magnify yourselves against me,

and you must let my disgrace argue against me,

know then that God has wronged me

and has surrounded me with his net.

How long will ye vex my soul,

And break me in pieces with words?

These ten times have ye reproached me:

Ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.

And be it indeed that I have erred,

Mine error remaineth with myself.

If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me,

And plead against me my reproach:

Know now that God hath overthrown me,

And hath compassed me with his net.
