Job 6:25-29
English Standard Version

25 How forceful are upright words!
    But what does reproof from you reprove?
26 Do you think that you can reprove words,
    when the speech of a despairing man is (A)wind?
27 You would even (B)cast lots over the fatherless,
    and bargain over your friend.

28 “But now, be pleased to look at me,
    for I will not lie to your face.
29 (C)Please turn; let no injustice be done.
    Turn now; my vindication is at stake.

Job 6:25-29
New International Version

25 How painful are honest words!(A)
    But what do your arguments prove?
26 Do you mean to correct what I say,
    and treat my desperate words as wind?(B)
27 You would even cast lots(C) for the fatherless(D)
    and barter away your friend.

28 “But now be so kind as to look at me.
    Would I lie to your face?(E)
29 Relent, do not be unjust;(F)
    reconsider, for my integrity(G) is at stake.[a](H)
