Job 19:1-6

New International Reader's Version

² “How long will you people make me suffer?
    How long will you crush me with your words?
³ You have already accused me many times.
    You have attacked me without feeling any shame.
⁴ Suppose it’s true that I’ve gone down the wrong path.
    Then it’s my concern, not yours.
⁵ Suppose you want to place yourselves above me.
    Suppose you want to use my shame to prove I’m wrong.
⁶ Then I want you to know that God hasn’t treated me right.
    In fact, he has captured me in his net.
