24 “Teach me, and I will be quiet;(A)
    show me where I have been wrong.(B)

    and barter away your friend.

28 “But now be so kind as to look at me.
    Would I lie to your face?(G)
29 Relent, do not be unjust;(H)
    reconsider, for my integrity(I) is at stake.[a](J)
30 Is there any wickedness on my lips?(K)
    Can my mouth not discern(L) malice?
