My Redeemer Lives

19 Then Job answered and said,

“How long will you torment my soul
And crush me with words?
These ten times you have dishonored me;
You are not ashamed that you wrong me.
[a]Even if I have truly erred,
My error lodges with me.
If truly you (A)magnify yourselves against me
And argue my disgrace to me,
Know then that (B)God has wronged me
And has closed (C)His net around me.

How long will you torment me

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)
