Responding to: ???'s previous message
Just started my 15 min upload, took the time

Here is a way

The resistor values are 'grab bag' but the circuit works and the input is not referenced to ground.
This is a unity gain circuit, cange two resistors to change the gain.

The 2 unlabelled wires to the left are the 4-20 connection.

PS
for an industrial unit I would reduce the 250 Ohms to 100 and make the op-amp have a different gain.
