Job 6:24-30

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁴ “Teach me, and I will be silent;
    make me understand how I have gone wrong.
²⁵ How forceful are honest words!
    But your reproof, what does it reprove?^(A)
26 Do you think that you can reprove words,
    as if the speech of the desperate were wind?^(B)
27 You would even cast lots over the orphan
    and bargain over your friend.^(C)

²⁸ “But now, be pleased to look at me,
    for I will not lie to your face.^(D)
29 Turn, I pray; let no wrong be done.
    Turn now; my vindication is at stake.
³⁰ Is there any wrong on my tongue?
    Cannot my taste discern calamity?^(E)
