Job’s Reply to Bildad

19 Then Job answered:

How long will you torment me
and crush me with words?
You have humiliated me ten times now,
and you mistreat[a] me without shame.(A)
Even if it is true that I have sinned,
my mistake concerns only[b] me.
If you really want to appear superior(B) 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.(C)

Job Responds to Bildad

19 In response, Job said:

“How long do you intend to keep torturing me
    and trying to break me by what you’re saying?
Ten times you’ve tried to humiliate me!
    You’re not ashamed to wrong me!
Even if it’s true that I’ve erred,
    my error only affects me.
If you really intend to vaunt yourselves over me,
    and make my problems the basis of your case against me,
then at least you must know that God has accused me of wrong,
    and trapped me with his net.”
