Job 6:27
Verse 27 of 30. The 6th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
23or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand’? or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors’?
24“Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand my error.
25How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?
26Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
27Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
28Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I will not lie to your face.
29Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
30Is there injustice on my tongue? Can’t my taste discern mischievous things?
