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.

- 6:27 Hebrew even gamble over an orphan.
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.
