Job 19:5 Meaning and Commentary

Job 19:5

If indeed ye will magnify [yourselves] against me
Look and talk big, set up themselves for great folk, and resolve to run him down; open their mouths wide against him and speak great swelling words in a blustering manner; or magnify what they called an error in him, and set it out in the worst light they could:

and plead against me my reproach;
his affliction which he was reproached with, and was pleaded against him as an argument of his being a wicked man; if therefore they were determined to go on after this manner, and insist on this kind of proof, then he would have them take what follows.

Job 19:5 In-Context

3 Una y otra vez me hacen reproches;descaradamente me atacan.

4 Aun si fuera verdad que me he desviado,mis errores son asunto mío.

5 Si quieren darse importancia a costa mía,y valerse de mi humillación para atacarme,

6 sepan que es Dios quien me ha hecho daño,quien me ha atrapado en su red.

7 »Aunque grito: “¡Violencia!”, no hallo respuesta;aunque pido ayuda, no se me hace justicia.
