Job 6:24-27
Expanded Bible
24 “Teach me, and I will be quiet.
·Show me [L Help me understand] where I have been wrong.
25 ·Honest [Virtuous; C Job speaks sarcastically] words are painful,
but your ·arguments [reproofs] prove nothing.
26 Do you mean to correct what I say?
Will you treat the words of a ·troubled [despairing] man as if they were only wind [C that is, empty]?
27 You would even ·gamble [cast lots] for orphans
and would ·trade away [sell] your friend.
Job 6:24-27
Amplified Bible
24
“Teach me, and I will be silent;
And show me how I have erred.
25
“How painful are words of honesty.
But what does your argument prove?
26
“Do you intend to reprove my words [with a convincing argument],
When the words of one in despair belong to the wind [and go ignored]?
27
“You would cast lots (gamble) over the fatherless
And bargain away your friend.
