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
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.
