Job 6:24-27
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
24 “Teach me, and I will be silent;
make me understand how I have gone wrong.
25 How forceful are honest words!
But your reproof, what does it reprove?(A)
26 Do you think that you can reprove words,
as if the speech of the desperate were wind?(B)
27 You would even cast lots over the orphan
and bargain over your friend.(C)
Job 6:24-27
Common English Bible
24 Instruct me and I’ll be quiet;
inform me how I’ve erred.
25 How painful are truthful words,
but what do your condemnations accomplish?
26 Do you intend to correct my words,
to treat the words of a hopeless man as wind?
27 Would you even gamble over an orphan,
barter away your friend?
