19 Then Job answered,

“How long will you torment me,
    and crush me with words?
You have reproached me ten times.
    You aren’t ashamed that you attack me.
If it is true that I have erred,
    my error remains with myself.
If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me,
    and plead against me my reproach,

    and has surrounded me with his net.

Job Responds to Bildad

“How long do you intend to keep torturing me
    and trying to break me by what you’re saying?

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.”
