Job 6:24-27
Lexham English Bible
24 Teach me, and I myself[a] will be silent;
and make me understand how I have gone astray.
25 How painful are upright words![b]
But[c] what does your reproof[d] reprove?
26 Do you intend to reprove my words[e]
and consider the words of a desperate man as wind?
27 Even over the orphan you would cast the lot,
and you would bargain over your friend.
Job 6:24-27
