Job 6:24-27
Christian Standard Bible
24 Teach me, and I will be silent.
Help me understand what I did wrong.
25 How painful honest words can be!
But what does your rebuke prove?
26 Do you think that you can disprove my words
or that a despairing man’s words are mere wind?(A)
27 No doubt you would cast lots for a fatherless child
and negotiate a price to sell your friend.(B)
Job 6:24-27
New Living Translation
24 Teach me, and I will keep quiet.
Show me what I have done wrong.
25 Honest words can be painful,
but what do your criticisms amount to?
26 Do you think your words are convincing
when you disregard my cry of desperation?
27 You would even send an orphan into slavery[a]
or sell a friend.
