Job 6:24-27
Legacy Standard Bible
24 “Instruct me, and (A)I will be silent;
And cause me to understand how I have erred.
25 How painful are upright words!
But what does your reproof prove?
26 Do you think to reprove my words,
Or think of the (B)words of one in despair as wind?
27 You would even (C)cast lots for (D)the orphans
And (E)bargain over your friend.
Job 6:24-27
International Standard Version
Job Requests Mercy from His Friends
24 “Instruct me, and I’ll remain silent.
Help me understand where I’ve gone astray.
25 The truth[a] can be painful,
but what has your argument proven?
26 Did you intend your words to reprove,
even though the speech of a desperate person is just wind?
27 Indeed, you would gamble to buy an orphan;
and barter to buy your friend!
