1. Then Job answered:
2. “How long will you hurt meand crush me with your words?
3. You have insulted me ten times now.You attack me without shame.
4. If I have sinned,it is my worry alone.
5. Maybe you want to make yourselves look better than I doso you can blame me for my suffering.
6. Then know that God has wronged me.He has pulled his net around me.
7. “I shout, ‘I have been wronged!’But I get no answer.I call loudly for help,but I receive no justice.
8. God has blocked my way so I cannot pass.He has covered my paths with darkness.
