Job 6:14-30 - You Have Not Treated Me Like True Friends
14 The friend shows gracious love for his friend, even if he has forsaken the fear of the Almighty. 15 But my brothers have acted treacherously like a cascading river, like torrential rivers that overflow. 16 Filled with waters made cold by ice, they are where the snow goes to hide. 17 But then the snow melts, and they disappear; when warmed, they evaporate from their stream beds. 18 Travelers divert in their route; they go into a wasteland and die. 19 Travelers from Tema search intently; caravans from Sheba hope to find them. 20 For all their expectations, they are doomed to disappointment; even though they have come and searched this far. 21 "And now you're all just like them, aren't you? You see my terror and are terrified. 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?"
