know then that God has put me in the wrong, and closed his net about me.
As they go, I will spread over them my net; I will bring them down like birds of the air; I will chastise them for their wicked deeds.
Thus says the Lord God: I will throw my net over you with a host of many peoples; and I will haul you up in my dragnet.
And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my snare; and I will bring him to Babylon in the land of the Chaldeans, yet he shall not see it; and he shall die there.
“As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter;
If I sin, what do I do to thee, thou watcher of men? Why hast thou made me thy mark? Why have I become a burden to thee?
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near.
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, whom God has hedged in?
Turn, I pray, let no wrong be done. Turn now, my vindication is at stake.
Does it seem good to thee to oppress, to despise the work of thy hands and favor the designs of the wicked?
Why do you, like God, pursue me? Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?
Thou hast turned cruel to me; with the might of thy hand thou dost persecute me.
Will you even put me in the wrong? Will you condemn me that you may be justified?
Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert the right?
