Job’s Sixth Speech: A Response to Bildad

19 Then[a] Job answered and said,

and crush me with words?

you[f] are not ashamed that you[g] have attacked[h] me.
And what is more, if I have truly erred,

and you[j] must let my disgrace argue against me,
know then that God has wronged me
and has surrounded me with his net.
