Job 6:24-27
New International Version

24 “Teach me, and I will be quiet;(A)
    show me where I have been wrong.(B)
25 How painful are honest words!(C)
    But what do your arguments prove?
26 Do you mean to correct what I say,
    and treat my desperate words as wind?(D)
27 You would even cast lots(E) for the fatherless(F)
    and barter away your friend.

Job 6:24-27
New Living Translation

24 Teach me, and I will keep quiet.
    Show me what I have done wrong.
25 Honest words can be painful,
    but what do your criticisms amount to?
26 Do you think your words are convincing
    when you disregard my cry of desperation?
27 You would even send an orphan into slavery[a]
    or sell a friend.
