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
Holman Christian Standard Bible
24 Teach me, and I will be silent.
Help me understand what I did wrong.
25 How painful honest words can be!
But what does your rebuke prove?
26 Do you think that you can disprove my words
or that a despairing man’s words are mere wind?(A)
27 No doubt you would cast lots for a fatherless child
and negotiate a price to sell your friend.(B)
