Job 6:24-30
New American Standard Bible
24 “Teach me, and (A)I will be silent;
And show me how I have done wrong.
25 How painful are honest words!
But what does your argument prove?
26 Do you intend to rebuke my words,
When the (B)words of one in despair belong to the wind?
27 You would even (C)cast lots for (D)the orphans,
And (E)barter over your friend.
28 Now please look at me,
And see if I am (F)lying to your face.
29 Please turn away, let there be no injustice;
Turn away, (G)my righteousness is still in it.
30 Is there injustice on my tongue?
Does (H)my palate not discern disasters?
Job 6:24-30
King James Version
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
