Job 19:5

5 Si vraiment vous vous élevez contre moi, si vous me reprochez l'opprobre où je me trouve,

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 Voilà déjà dix fois que vous m'outragez: vous n'avez pas honte de me maltraiter?

4 Vraiment si j'ai failli, ma faute demeure avec moi.

5 Si vraiment vous vous élevez contre moi, si vous me reprochez l'opprobre où je me trouve,

6 Sachez donc que c'est Dieu qui m'a fait tort, et qui a tendu ses filets autour de moi.

7 Voici, je crie à la violence, et on ne me répond pas; je crie au secours, et il n'y a point de justice!
