Job Replies: My Redeemer Lives

19 Then Job answered:

“How long will you torment my soul
    and break me in pieces with words?
These ten times you have reproached me;
    you are not ashamed that you have wronged me.
And if indeed I have erred,
    my error remains with me.
If indeed you exalt yourselves against me
    and plead against me with my disgrace,
know now that God has bent me
    and has surrounded me with His net.

19 Then Job answered and said,

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 deal hardly with me.
And be it indeed that I have erred,
Mine error remaineth with myself.
[a]If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me,
And plead against me my reproach;
Know now that God hath [b]subverted me in my cause,
And hath compassed me with his net.
