Job 19
你们搅扰我的心， 用言语压碎我要到几时呢？
nǐ men jiǎo rǎo wǒ de xīn ， yòng yán yǔ yā suì wǒ yào dào jǐ shí ne ？
“How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?

If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
你们果然要向我夸大， 以我的羞辱为证指责我，
nǐ men guǒ rán yào xiàng wǒ kuā dà ， yǐ wǒ de xiū rǔ wèi zhèng zhǐ zé wǒ ，
If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach,
就该知道是 神倾覆我， 用网罗围绕我。

我因委曲呼叫，却不蒙应允； 我呼求，却不得公断。
