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

²²
“Did I ever say, ‘Give me something,’
Or, ‘Pay a bribe for me from your wealth,’
²³
Or, ‘Rescue me from the adversary’s hand,’
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?

²⁴
“Teach me, and I will be silent;
And show me how I have erred.
²⁵
“How painful are words of honesty.
But what does your argument prove?
²⁶
“Do you intend to reprove my words [with a convincing argument],
When the words of one in despair belong to the wind [and go ignored]?
²⁷
“You would cast lots (gamble) over the fatherless
And bargain away your friend.

²⁸
“Now please look at me,
And see if I lie to your face [for you know that I would not].
²⁹
“Turn away [from your suspicion], let there be no injustice;
Turn away, my righteousness and vindication is still in it.
³⁰
“Is there injustice or malice on my tongue?
Can my palate not discern what is destructive?
