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.
