Job 19:5

5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach,

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 These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed to stupefy me.

4 And be it [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.

5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach,

6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.

7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
