Job 6:22-30 - What Have I Done Wrong?

22 When did I ever ask you for anything, say "Offer a bribe for me from your wealth?' 23 or say "Deliver me from my enemy's control,' or "Redeem me from the domination of ruthless people'?"

24 "Instruct me, and I'll remain silent. Help me understand where I've gone astray. 25 The truth can be painful, but what has your argument proven? 26 Did you intend your words to reprove, even though the speech of a desperate person is just wind? 27 Indeed, you would gamble to buy an orphan; and barter to buy your friend!

28 Now be willing to face me, and I won't lie to your face. 29 Repent! Let there be no injustice; Change your ways! My vindication is at stake. 30 Have I said anything that's unjust? I can discern evil, can't I?"
